Chapter 144: When Wealth Comes, You Should Have It (4)
Zhao Si followed Zhao Ji to the VIP seat No. 2 and met several rare talents recommended by Brother Eleven.
It only made Zhao Ji feel embarrassed that all these talented people lost their demeanor when they saw the officials in person.
Their waists, which were originally as green as green pine trees, wanted to bend to the ground. With flattering smiles on their faces, they wanted to take out their hearts and souls and place them in front of them so that the officials could see the quality of their daring loyalty.
Each one of them spoke flattering words, like the surging Yellow River, flowing towards Zhao Si. What surprised Zhao Ji was that none of the flattering words spoken by these people were repeated. When they were put together, they were all the same.
The location, praised the officials without any blind spots.
It even jumped out of the category of the Song Dynasty and directly compared it to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao, Shun, and Yu, praising the officials as the most Mingjun in history. Of course, if they were vigorously promoted, they would be the Mingjun among Mingjuns. The Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Yao, Shun, and Yu would all be eliminated.
The comparison is over.
Zhao Si listened to these floods of flattery and looked at these talents who had shone brightly in history.
Wang Xiaodi, Li Ye, Sun Fu, and Wang Shiyong, I have no memory of these four. In the history of the Song Dynasty that I know, their names seem to be mentioned occasionally during the Jingkang period. I don’t remember much about what they did specifically. Anyway,
It's not a good reputation, it should be bad things like being groveling and seeking glory as a seller.
Zheng Juzhong, Wang Fu, and Wu Min all sounded familiar. Especially Wang Fu, one of the six thieves under Emperor Xuanzheng, the famous Wang Fu. In my previous life, I saw this name, which was a bit strange, so I went through Baidu and found out about him.
He used to be called Wang Fu, but later he changed his name to Wang Fu.
Zhang Bangchang, that was like thunder.
In "The Complete Story of Yue Yue", there is a traitor who is as famous as Qin Shi. I have known him since I read the comic strips when I was a child. Now that I see the real person, I find that the comic strips have indeed vilified him.
This guy looks very talented, and although his handsome appearance is far from his own, standing in a crowd, he can still be called a handsome man among them.
Thinking about it, Brother Eleven is a typical good-looking person, and the traitors he uses are all talented. If he is not good-looking enough, no matter how talented he is, it will be difficult for him to be recognized.
Looking across the faces of these people one by one, Zhao Si couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Brother Eleven, you are really a big magnet, a beacon in the dark night. The throne was taken away by you, but you are still able to attract these talents to gather around you. Don’t accept it.
Zhao said calmly: "You are all talents highly recommended by Brother Eleven. Well, it's rare, it's rare."
After that, he went back to the VIP table No. 1. Zhao Ji winked at all his close friends and left immediately. A group of agitated people were left behind.
Although Zhao Si's words and attitude were very indifferent, Zheng Juzhong and others were still greatly encouraged.
It is already very rare for an official to come to meet his group of people with the dignity of the emperor. Although they are "full of ambitions" in their hearts, they are somewhat self-aware and know that they are far from what the officials can do to meet them.
situation.
Zhang Bangchang was the most excited among the group.
The official's eyes stayed on me for the longest time, and he must have taken a fancy to my talents. Wuwu, I studied hard in my humble life and was full of ambitions, and finally got a chance to show my talents. Official, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you.
Hot blooded.
The rest of the people were in a similar mood.
They tried their best to curry favor with His Highness the King of Wu. Why? In addition to a little material compensation, more importantly, they were interested in King Wu’s status as the elder brother of the official family. They hoped to get an audience with the Holy Face and embark on the journey of Qingyun.
road.
Now that you finally get what you wanted, can you not be excited?
But in this excited crowd, Sun Fu had a complicated expression and his eyes flickered. Wu Min's eyes flickered and his expression was complicated.
The game continues to start in the fourth quarter.
After three quarters of competition, the red team not only far surpassed the green team in terms of riding skills, but also suppressed the green team in terms of physical strength. The green team soon fell into a disastrous defeat just like Yuan Fu's Song Army two years ago.
The gong sounded, and the game ended. The red team won a great victory with a score of 16 to 7. Zhao Si took Zhao Ji and Zhao Ji and gave awards to the players of the two teams with a smile.
The champions of the friendly competition each received a wonderful treasure mirror - under Fengheng Yuhang's efforts, it was not sold on the streets and was quite precious. There were six pieces of brocade, Zhangzhou's "Silk Brocade" developed based on the mirror clothing of the former Tang Dynasty.
"Two horses."
The second runner-up also has a wonderful mirror for each person - it is just smaller, but still precious enough. There are four pieces of brocade and one piece of silk brocade.
Silk brocade is "mechanically steamed in the clouds, which is unparalleled in its craftsmanship." It was given the name "Velvet" by the officials and became very popular. Due to technological limitations, the current output is not high and it is very precious. In addition, the wonderful mirrors are sought after by women.
Even the concubines of King Wu in the green team were very happy and shouted long live.
Zhao Ji looked on and smiled like a flower. Thirteenth brother is really a teachable child, and he actually knows how to show mercy and cherish jade. Yes, he was also a famous wealthy man in Kaifeng city back then. The Ming noble concubine in the palace was originally called Jinyu slave.
He is the leader of the Ailan Tower.
Zhao Ji was immediately confident that he would lead Thirteenth Brother onto the correct path of officialdom.
He returned to his house in a good mood, and with a wave of his hand, he gave a large amount of money and silk to the concubines and maids who participated in the competition this time, and they all gathered around him to thank him.
After a while of excitement, Zhao Ji gathered Zheng Juzhong's closest confidants together and held a feast.
At the banquet, Zhao Ji confidently told these people that he had recommended them to the officials, and the officials also promised to reuse them. Zhang Dun will leave the prime minister at the end of the year, and there will definitely be major adjustments in the ministries of the Shangshu Province. It is a good time for you to rise to the top.
Zheng Juzhong and others were so excited that their faces flushed. They stood up and saluted Zhao Ji in unison, shouting "Your Highness, benefactor." This call of "benefactor" made Zhao Ji's eyebrows light up and his mood was excited. He felt that his team had finally been established.
While drinking and drinking, these people each had their own thoughts.
Zheng Juzhong and others were imagining that they were finally going to the court, and they must show off their skills and talents. They believed that they could serve His Highness the King of Wu comfortably, and there was no reason why they couldn't do it in the officialdom.
good?
In the past, they always thought that they were ambitious and only lacked opportunities, which made them inferior to others. Now, after all the hardships and joys, they finally got through.
Zhao Ji was imagining that these talented people he recommended would work together secretly in the court, and they would be able to show off their talents, become prosperous, move the wind and rain, and become his solid team.
When the situation changes drastically - the officials are so reckless that they actually lead troops to conquer Mobei. I think they will definitely do more outrageous things in the future. Soldiers have no eyesight and are merciless, so something is very likely to happen.
When the time comes, I will respond to every call and become Duke of Zhou first, and then...
Haha! Zhao Ji laughed proudly. Zheng Juzhong and others also laughed, but everyone had different reasons for laughing.
After a night of hangover, we all dispersed in the morning, and then we looked forward to being promoted to senior positions and becoming full-fledged.
It's just that the officials, who are full of expectations, are holding an imperial meeting. This chapter has been completed!
