The first thousand one hundred and ninety-eight chapters

When he heard that King Yong's envoy had arrived, Liu Xianchen went out to greet him personally and invited Hu Yun and Zheng Tongquan to the guest hall. Hu Yun asked to see Gao Qiu together, and Liu Xianchen immediately sent a ship to invite Gao Qiu over.

The two parties took their seats in the guest room as guests and hosts. Hu Yun introduced Zheng Tongquan to Liu Xianchen. Liu Xianchen smiled and said: "It turns out to be Uncle Zheng. I have heard about his name for a long time."

Of course Liu Xianchen knew about Zheng Tongquan. Zheng Ping's father was the commander of the Western Army and had a close relationship with King Yong. King Yong publicly protected Zheng Tongquan in the newspapers, forcing the court to give up the persecution of the Zheng family.

It is said that King Yong's private wealth first came from the Zheng family's property.

Zheng Tongquan cupped his fists and said with a smile: "This time I came to visit the Liu family to discuss something else. I want to open a cabinet shop in Lin'an to break the monopoly of Baoji Cabinet Shop. I want to find a few like-minded people to work together."

Liu Xianchen was so sophisticated. With the words "like-minded", he immediately realized that this was an opportunity to establish a relationship with King Yong.

He quickly said: "We can talk. My eldest son will be responsible for industrial development. Why don't we ask Uncle Zheng Guo to discuss with my eldest son in detail how to cooperate."

Zheng Tongquan said happily: "It's absolutely okay. I will discuss it with you in detail!"

Liu Xianchen immediately asked his eldest son Liu Wei to invite Zheng Tongquan to the inner hall for a detailed discussion. Not long after, Gao Qiu was also invited. The two parties met and the ceremony was completed, and Liu Xiancheng asked people to serve tea again.

Hu Yun looked at Gao Qiu carefully and realized that it was really him. Back then, Hu Yun was still an Imperial College student in Bianliang, Tokyo. He saw the powerful Gao Qiu with his own eyes. He did not expect that he would become an octogenarian now, but after all, Gao Qiu

He is not yet seventy years old, but he has a severe stoop and looks very old.

"I am not trying to sow discord within the Song Xinghui, but with all due respect, Shi Guangping has embraced Qin Hui in the past two years, and it is known to everyone in the civil and military circles of the court. As the leader of the Songxinghui, his attitude is too clear, and I am afraid it will be detrimental to everyone in the Songxinghui."

Of course, Hu Yun's visit to Pingjiang Mansion has a theme. Shi Guangping has already shown his hostility towards Jingzhao. For example, he proposed to restrict businessmen from buying land and houses in Jingzhao, which directly infringes on Jingzhao's major interests. Hu Yun hopes that others will

Song Xinghui members can draw a clear line between themselves and Shi Guangping and not be influenced by him, and the Liu family is his breakthrough point.

Liu Xianchen and Gao Qiu looked at each other. They knew clearly what Hu Yun meant by having too clear an attitude, which meant hostility to Jingzhao and King Yong. It must have been the incident involving Baoji Cabinet Fang colluding with Qiu Mingsi. In other respects, Shi Guangping

It's not obvious.

Liu Xianchen said slowly: "Although everyone contributed to the establishment of Baoji Cabinet, the Shi family accounted for 30% of the shares. The chief shopkeeper and the chief accountant were appointed by the Shi family. We could not interfere with Baoji Cabinet five years ago.

The management of the workshop is basically decided by Shi Guangping, we just wait for the annual dividends.

But since the year before last, he has not distributed profits for two consecutive years. As far as we know, he donated all the profits from Baoji Cabinet and Fengle Building to the court in his own name, and was named the Duke of Yue.

, Taiwei and Minister of War, we are extremely angry about this matter. I just want to say that although Shi Guangping is the leader of Song Xinghui, what he does only represents himself and cannot represent us!"

Next to him, Gao Qiu coughed slightly and said in an old voice: "Song Xinghui has actually split. The Cao family and the Huyan family came to me a few days ago and made it clear that they will withdraw from Song Xinghui. Not only them, but also me and Liu.

The 16 families in Pingjiang Prefecture, as well as the Wang family, will withdraw from the Songxinghui annual meeting this fall. Then the Songxinghui will be left with the Shi family and his supporters, a total of seven families, including Baoji Cabinet Fang and Fengle Building.

We will also withdraw simultaneously and completely draw a clear line with Shi Guangping."

Hu Yun smiled slightly and said: "The Cao family and the Huyan family are in Lin'an!"

Gao Qiu also smiled and said: "It doesn't matter where they live. The key is their position. Cao De is now the prefect of Taiyuan. The Cao family is now very biased towards Jingzhao, and so is the Huyan family. So their two families took the lead in breaking away from Song Xinghui, which aroused everyone's concern.

response."

Hu Yun nodded and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong also asked me to say hello to you. Jingzhao has implemented a height limit. Your idea of ​​building another Fengle Building in Jingzhao may not be realized. It can only be two ordinary buildings."

restaurant."

Liu Xianchen said with a smile: "The one who lost is Shi Guangping, not us. We can't ask for it. And once we are divided, the two restaurants will not be built into one, and each will be managed by its own person."

At this time, Zheng Tongquan finished talking, and Hu Yun stood up to say goodbye. He had to rush back to Lin'an overnight, so he declined the Liu family's banquet.

Liu Xianchen and Gao Qiu put them on the boat and watched their boat go away. Liu Xianchen smiled and asked his eldest son Liu Wei next to him, "How was the discussion about the cabinet shop?"

He asked in front of Gao Qiu because he was afraid that Gao Qiu would misunderstand that the Liu family wanted to eat alone.

Liu Wei said quickly: "We basically reached a consensus. Zheng Tongquan wants half of the shares. He hinted to me that the Zheng family actually only has 30%, and the other 20% is only held by the Zheng family on behalf of others. The real investor is someone else."

"Did he say who holds it on behalf of him?" Liu Xianchen asked anxiously.

"Haier asked specifically. He just said that it's okay for us to know everything. There are some things that cannot be revealed."

Liu Xianchen immediately understood that it must be King Yong, and only King Yong could not tell.

At this time, Gao Qiu laughed at the side and said: "The new cabinet shop, the Gao family, also wants a member, no problem, right?"

Liu Xianchen smiled and said, "Has the Taiwei guessed it too?"

Gao Qiu chuckled, "Zheng Tongquan has already made it very clear, how can you still not guess it?"

"Okay! Our two families will share one percent of the family, and the remaining three percent will be divided equally among other families."

Gao Qiu nodded, "It's settled!"

On the passenger ship, Hu Yun and Zheng Tongquan were also talking about the cabinet shop. Zheng Tongquan smiled and said: "We have all decided that the head office of the new cabinet shop will not be located in Lin'an, but in Pingjiang Prefecture. Lin'an is just a branch. The Liu family has

The cabinet shop is very interested, maybe they are too disappointed with Baoji Cabinet Shop."

Hu Yun smiled slightly and said: "Have you told them? There will be two elements of King Yong in the new cabinet."

Zheng Tongquan shook his head, "I didn't say it explicitly, but I gave them a hint. They are all smart people. I believe they understand what I mean."

"Yes! The cabinet is a good link. It binds them to us, and then they exert influence. Nearly half of the veterans of the Song Dynasty will turn to support King Yong."

Hu Yun sighed and said: "The key is timing. This time the imperial court suffered a disastrous defeat. It was actually defeated by the signing army. The entire army of 100,000 people was destroyed. So many people completely lost hope in the imperial court."

Zheng Tongquan thought for a moment and said, "I can give you a suggestion!"

"Please say!"

"There is actually a chance for the imperial court to revive. If the emperor puts aside his past grudges and re-employs famous generals such as Li Gang, Zhang Jun, Wu Gao, Liu Ziyu, and Yue Fei, to prevent this from happening, I think the special envoy must take countermeasures."

"Do you have any good suggestions, proprietor?" Hu Yun asked thoughtfully.

Zheng Tongquan said calmly: "Zhao Gou is very suspicious. He deposed Yue Fei because he suspected that Yue Fei and King Yong were colluding secretly. The same goes for others. The special envoy can make a fuss about this, such as sending someone to deliver it to Yue Fei and others.

Good wine and tea, winter clothes and medicine, local products from Jingzhao, etc. Those who monitor Yue Fei will definitely report to the emperor immediately. With the emperor's suspicious character, he will only demote Yue Fei and others further and further away, and will never

Will use him again."

Hu Yun nodded, "I know what to do."

At this time, Hu Yun suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, I plan to ask you to borrow 80,000 taels of silver as a working capital to help those wealthy businessmen who want to go to Jingzhao leave."

Zheng Tongquan stroked his beard and smiled happily: "If you have money, I will give it to you when you get to Lin'an!"
