Imperial Palace, inside the main hall of Zhao Zhen.
In fact, for Zhe Kexing, he didn't have many opportunities to see Zhao Zhen. That is, when he broke his sword in the ironworks, he was able to see the emperor once. Apart from that time, in fact, Zhe Kexing's identity
He is just a small soldier under Han Qi. How could he get his turn to see the emperor? If Lu Yao hadn't helped him make a military training plan this time, Zhe Kexing might still not have the chance to see the emperor. Therefore, Zhe Kexing
Ke Xing still valued Lu Yao, his sworn brother.
As for Han Qi, Zhe Kexing actually admired him very much from the bottom of his heart. Han Qi was the Privy Councilor. In fact, there was no need for him to go to the military camp every week or half a month. Moreover, every time Han Qi went to the military camp, he would definitely
He ate and lived with the soldiers and had a very leadership temperament. Because of Han Qi's behavior, all the soldiers, including Zhe Kexing, felt that he was an official who loved his subordinates very much and took the lead. Han Qi
Qi is actually very loved by everyone.
Of course, Han Qi also had a greater influence on Zhe Kexing. Before meeting Lu Yao, Han Qi's image was almost the image of Zhe Kexing. He had told himself more than once that in the future he would be like Master Han Qi, in charge of thousands of armies.
Thousands of horses were used to expand the territory of the Song Dynasty and resist foreign enemies.
However, the years passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhe Kexing was still just a young soldier captain. Finally, by chance, Zhe Kexing met Lu Yao.
For Zhe Kexing, this was an opportunity that could change his life.
Fortunately, Zhe Kexing caught it.
After that, Zhe Kexing accepted Lu Yao's invitation and became a partner of the Cuju competition, that is, a training instructor.
In fact, regardless of his usual status, as far as this Cuju competition is concerned, Zhe Kexing's status is already higher than that of Han Qi. Soon, once the team starts training, the team under Han Qi will completely obey Zhe
In fact, there were four or five people in the team, and Zhe Kexing still had some impression of them. There were even two people who used to be soldiers in a small group in their camp. To them, Zhe Kexing always had a way of saying no.
The intimacy that comes out.
Entering the palace to meet the saint was actually the first time for Chen Chen and the common people, who were a little at a loss. However, it was also the first time for Zhe Kexing. His nervousness was actually no less than those waiting outside.
, On the contrary, because of his special status, he would inevitably be questioned by Zhao Zhen, so Zhe Kexing was even more nervous.
Fortunately, before entering the palace just now, Lu Yao gave Zhe Kexing a comforting look, which meant to tell Zhe Kexing, don't be afraid, and you can say whatever you want when you go inside. With his sworn brother beside him, Zhe Kexing can
Ke Xing can be considered a reassurance.
After entering the main hall, Zhe Kexing naturally did not come out like when Chen Chen saw Zhao Zhen for the first time. Zhe Kexing saw the "common emperor" in front of him at a glance. However, Zhe Kexing knew very well that his current role is
I am assisting Lu Yao, so it is better to speak with less money.
But even so, Zhe Kexing still couldn't escape Zhao Zhen's questioning. After a conversation, Zhao Zhen directly ordered Tang Long to bring Han Qi's team up.
His former boss was also his direct instructor. Now he is equal to him in this matter, or in other words, his status is lower than his own. I don’t know what Han Qi feels in his heart. However, with Han Qi’s mind,
You shouldn't care about such things with yourself.
Zhe Kexing's mind was racing. He began to imagine that when Han Qi's team came in, would he say something? What should he do? Once they communicated, how should they speak? What attitude should they use? And those people he knew
What do soldiers think of themselves?
The more he thought about it, Zhe Kexing felt that his head was spinning and he couldn't think straight.
However, time never waits for anyone.
After a while, the sound of footsteps was heard, and several people in the hall looked outside. Han Qi had already walked in with his team.
When Han Qi saw Zhao Zhen, he quickly signaled with his eyes to the thirteen team members behind him, that is, the soldiers.
These soldiers are no better than Zhe Kexing. Since they joined the army, it was their first time to see the emperor, not to mention the palace. But just now, they tried their best to restrain their curiosity and did not look around more.
After all, if you are a soldier, you can be considered a person who eats the royal food. If you put it now, you are a proper civil servant. You are a person with status after all. You still need to distinguish yourself from the common people.
On the one hand, they thought so themselves, and on the other hand, Han Qi also managed them very well. Before setting off to Fulai Inn this morning, he had already told them what they should do and what they should not do. When they got closer to the palace, he told them
What to do? Because Han Qi has a very high prestige in the army, these thirteen people are basically the soldiers that Han Qi values. They can be said to be his confidants, and they naturally listen to his words. So now Han Qi only needs to
With one look, they immediately understood the meaning in Han Qi's eyes.
The thin man in commoner clothes in front of him must be the emperor. This idea appeared in the minds of each of the thirteen people.
Then, Han Qi and the thirteen people behind him immediately knelt down and saluted Zhao Zhen.
However, the next second, Lu Yao clearly saw a very unhappy expression on Zhao Zhen's face, but it turned into a very discouraged expression and said: "You all get up. Han Qi,
If you do this, it won’t be fun at all. Wouldn’t it be a waste of what I’m wearing?”
Han Qi stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's domineering spirit has filled this palace. These people under me were already infected when they came in. No matter what kind of clothes you are wearing, they are all
It cannot be concealed."
Lu Yaoxin said, good guy, I originally thought that Uncle Cao Guo was a master of flattery, but I didn't expect that Han Qi was not inferior to him at all. No wonder he could become the Privy Councilor. It seems that at best, it is called high emotional intelligence, and at worst, it is called high emotional intelligence.
Being good at flattering others has been a magic skill in the workplace since ancient times.
Zhao Zhen didn't know if he had heard Han Qi's words too much. He snorted coldly, and then looked at the team members brought by Han Qi one by one from the beginning to the end.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yao and said, "Is it illegal for him to recruit more than ten soldiers to participate in the competition? You must know that the physique of this soldier is not comparable to that of ordinary people."
Lu Yao shook his head and said: "No, I have not made too many restrictions on the identity of the contestants this time. Both ordinary people and soldiers have the right to participate. This is true universal participation."
Zhao Zhen nodded silently, thinking that what Lu Yao said made sense, but then he looked at Zhe Kexing behind Lu Yao, and then said to Han Qi and the team members: "Zhe Kexing, it was Lu Yao who came here specially from me.
If you want to go there, he will be responsible for your subsequent training. There should be someone familiar with him among you, and it should be more convenient to follow his command for training."
The team members did not speak. Lu Yao looked around and saw that there were still a few people with some displeased expressions on their faces.
This is understandable. After all, when Lu Yao asked Zhe Kexing to be the instructor this time, he was still suspected of going through the back door. And among the thirteen people present, there was no guarantee that there was no one with more military exploits than Zhe Kexing, so he was asked to follow Zhe Kexing's command.
, there is indeed something wrong, but this is the reality, and in ancient times, there has never been equality and fairness, and everyone should learn to accept it.
However, Zhao Zhen's eyes were extremely vicious, and he continued: "It seems that there is someone in your team who is not convinced. It's okay. Just bring it up and I will make the decision for you."
"How could it be?"
As Han Qi spoke, he looked back with a very fierce look. In an instant, the expressions of the thirteen people behind him immediately changed and became surprisingly consistent.
This move surprised even Lu Yao. To what extent does Han Qi control the army?
It was impossible for Zhao Zhen not to have seen this scene, but then he changed the topic and said: "What is the name of your team?"
Han Qi replied: "Goshawk Team."
Zhao Zhen thought about it and said: "The goshawk soaring in the sky is indeed good.",
Han Qi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It seemed that Zhao Zhen was not bored by his name.
"There must be people you know among them. Tell me, are they all performing particularly well in the military camp?" Then Zhao Zhen asked Katsuyuki again.
Zhe Kexing naturally said: "Well, I know a few of them. Their performance in the military camp is superior and they have more military exploits than me."
"But don't forget, you are going to be their instructor now." When Zhao Zhen said this, his tone was very cold, which was in sharp contrast to his current commoner attire. This is what a king should do.
Some speaking attitudes.
After that, Zhao Zhen asked Han Qi to retreat first.
When Zhao Zhen, Lu Yao, and Zhe Kexing were left in the palace again, Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yao and said, "Ai Qing, did you see it just now? How much did these soldiers listen to Han Qi's words? It was just a movement.
One look can already make them achieve this."
Lu Yaoxin said, "Oh no, the emperor's suspicion has arisen. Indeed, Han Qi shouldn't have shown off his control so much just now. Doesn't he know that in front of the emperor, he has to appear weak in order to survive as an official?"
The way?
"If things continue like this, I'm afraid all my troops will have to change their surnames." Zhao Zhen said to himself.
It was obvious that Zhao Zhen was suspicious of Han Qi, and Zhe Kexing, who had always regarded Han Qi as his role model, naturally wanted to step forward and explain a few words to Han Qi. However, Lu Yao immediately looked at Zhe Kexing and signaled
Don't talk to him at this time.
Otherwise, Zhe Kexing will also be regarded as someone who is in the same group as Han Qi.
Seeing the look in Lu Yao's eyes, Zhe Kexing finally resisted and did not go forward to dissuade him.
In this way, Zhao Zhen thought for five minutes, then his expression returned to normal and said: "Next, which team should be called in?"
Lu Yao thought for a while, Zhao Zhen was very nervous just now, and he must not be in a good mood. Now it seems that he should let in some teams that can make him happy.
So Lu Yao said: "Weichen thinks that the Pan family's team and their first-round opponent, the Zhao family's team, can be invited in."
"Oh?" Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said, "I remember, the Zhao family and the Pan family are business partners, right?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
When you open a restaurant, one person is responsible for supplying ingredients."
"Yes, but the leader of the team they selected this time is not the head of the family. The representative of the Pan family this time is Pan Wen, and the representative of the Zhao family is their butler, Uncle Liu." Zhe Kexing added at the side
road.
Zhao Zhen nodded. Although the heads of the Zhao family and Pan family did not come, Zhao Zhen could understand. After all, they were mainly engaged in business and were not officials in the government. Naturally, their first priority was to make money and obtain benefits.
First of all, it’s normal if you don’t come.
"I heard that Pan Wen seemed to be shining brightly in the three-party talks." Zhao Zhen's statement was naturally based on Wang Da's report to himself after participating in the three-party talks.
Lu Yao smiled and said: "Well, this Pan Wen is my good friend. To be honest, this person does not seem to be a very smart person when looking at him coldly, but I never thought that he would be interested in football lottery and this Cuju competition.
I understand it very thoroughly.”
"Haha, it's not nice for Aiqing to say that about your friend," Zhao Zhen seemed to be in a much better mood after hearing what Lu Yao said, and then he called Tang Long to call Pan Wen and Boss Zhao's team to come in.
Pan Wen outside was very happy about this, because if he only saw his own team, Pan Wen was afraid that he would say the wrong thing. In fact, before this, Pan Wen had only met the emperor a few times, and every time
There was no chance to talk. Before Lu Yao traveled over, Fan Lou, as the most popular restaurant in Bianliang City, Zhao Zhen would naturally patronize it. However, the three times he went to Fan Lou, he was always hosted by his father, with Pan Wen being the most popular.
He was hiding in the dark and observing Zhao Zhen. He was still young at that time and just wanted to know what the emperor looked like. But today's situation is different. If he leads the team in and faces Zhao Zhen's questions, maybe
I really don’t know how to answer, but fortunately Lu Yao is also in the palace, so he should be able to help me. On the other side, the person in charge of the Zhao family team is Uncle Liu. At his age, he may not be able to talk to the emperor.
Problems would arise, so what Pan Wen thought was that it would be best if he could go in with the Zhao family's team. This would allow them to share some of the pressure of meeting the saints, and there wouldn't be any major problems.
In fact, what Pan Wen thought, Lu Yao had already thought of, otherwise he would not have made the suggestion to let the two teams come in together. With his eloquence, Zhao Zhen really agreed.
As for Uncle Liu, he has been working as a housekeeper in the Zhao Mansion for so many years. How could he have imagined that at his age, he would be able to enter the palace to meet the saints in his lifetime? If his master knew about it, would he regret it?
Didn't you come to Fulai Inn in person today?
In fact, Uncle Liu was very unsure about His Majesty's summons. As an old man, what would he say when he met the Emperor? The people under his command were all young and vigorous. If he contradicted the Emperor, what would happen?
What should I do? Fortunately, in the end, Tang Long said that he wanted the Pan family team to go in with him. Now Uncle Liu felt a little confident. Someone was with him. As long as he didn't speak, everything would be left to him.
Pan Wen.
The leaders of the two teams entered the palace together with different mentality.
Zhao Zhen took a quick look and felt that Pan Wen looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately walked forward and said, "I remembered that many years ago I went to Fan Lou for dinner. The child hiding behind the screen and peeking was...
Not you?"
Pan Wen's face turned red and he was a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "That's right, Wei Chen."
Lu Yao felt a little funny in his heart. In fact, Pan Wen's image in Lu Yao's heart had never changed. He was a naive young man with no formal appearance and no understanding of etiquette, but he was very loyal to him.
Today, when he suddenly saw Pan Wen talking and bowing in a serious manner, Lu Yao was not used to it.
"Sure enough, it's you. I just said that I thought you looked a bit alike when I saw you just now." Zhao Zhen then looked to the other side, and then walked directly to Uncle Liu and took Uncle Liu's hand.
"Old man, you are the leader of the Zhao family, right? How expensive is Geng this year?"
Uncle Liu was very flattered. He had never been treated like this before. He quickly shook off Zhao Zhen's hand and knelt down, saying, "I will be sixty-one this year."
Under Uncle Liu's cabinet, the fifteen people behind him, although they didn't know what was going on, after being stunned for a few seconds, they looked at each other, and then they all knelt down in a very irregular manner.
When Pan Wen looked at it, he didn't know what to do. Should he kneel or not? Now he couldn't ask Lu Yao, so he gritted his teeth and thought that there was nothing wrong with him kneeling, so he also
He wanted to kneel down, but was pulled up by Zhao Zhen.
"Hey, I'm dressed like this today just because I don't want you to kneel down and look like anything else. This Cuju competition is not only to achieve the goal of universal participation, but also to bring me and you closer. If you don't
I’m not happy with kneeling like this.”
After saying that, Zhao Zhen pretended to be very angry and looked at Uncle Liu.
When Uncle Liu saw that the emperor was angry, he immediately greeted the people behind him, and then everyone stood up again.
"Same for you, old man. You are over sixty years old. Don't kneel down to others." Zhao Zhen complained as he began to look at the members of the two teams.
"Not bad, who selected the members of your team?"
Pan Wen replied that it was himself.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "These two teams are more like a complete team than the previous teams. Although the members of your team are taller and shorter, I understand them to a certain extent.
With some of these new types of Cuju, victory is not guaranteed just because the person is taller and the horse is bigger, and both of your teams are composed of fifteen people, so you also have an advantage in terms of personnel, so work hard."
"Yes." Pan Wen and Liu Bo replied in unison.
"What are the names of your two teams?" Zhao Zhen asked next.
Pan Wen glanced at Lu Yao, because he didn't know whether he should tell Zhao Zhen such a direct name, but Lu Yao gave him a firm look.
So Pan Wen said: "My team is called Fan Lou team, and Boss Zhao's team is called Tiger team."
"I actually used my own business as the name of the team. Haha, what an idea." Zhao Zhen burst out laughing. Obviously, he didn't expect that Pan Wen was really a simpleton with no thoughts.
Seeing Zhao Zhen's current expression, Lu Yao felt relieved. It seemed that Han Qi's performance just now did not keep Zhao Zhen in a bad mood. It was right to let Pan Wen and Boss Zhao's team come in this time.
.
Zhao Zhen then looked at Uncle Liu and said, "Then, what do you, the Tigers, have to say?"
Uncle Liu said: "Our father's name is Zhao Hu, so he chose a more impressive name in order to get good results."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "Yes, the name Tigers is really impressive. You two teams should work hard. Anyway, from the physical condition, I am very optimistic about you two teams."
Hearing that Zhao Zhen was optimistic about his team, Pan Wen and Liu Bo looked at each other and were very happy. Their secret joy was difficult to conceal.
Then, Zhao Zhen asked the two teams to leave first, but when Pan Wen was about to leave the palace, Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of something and stopped him.
Pan Wen was a little nervous, thinking that he hadn't said anything wrong just now, so he asked Zhao Zhen if there was anything else he could do.
Zhao Zhen looked at Lu Yao, and first whispered to Lu Yao: "I think it's not good to always ask you to come to the palace to cook for me. After all, you still have a lot of things to be busy with. Today, Pan
My family is here too, so I think I’m doing you a favor and giving the Pan family some opportunities to make money.”
After saying this, Zhao Zhen walked to Pan Wen and said: "Speaking of which, I haven't eaten Fan Lou's dishes for a while, and I heard that your Fan Lou's business has been more prosperous recently than before. It seems that you have received
What’s the recipe?”
Zhao Zhen asked himself this, so naturally he already knew the formula. However, out of confidentiality, Pan Wen still did not look at Lu Yao, so he said: "Your Majesty is right, but as long as your Majesty wants to eat any dish, I will
You can tell my dad and let the waiter make it directly for you."
Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and said: "What I want is what you say. If I want to eat something in the future, I will send someone to tell you one day in advance. You will have the chef prepare it and deliver it to me the next day. Remember, I must
If I were a chef."
"Your Majesty, don't worry." Pan Wen felt happy. No matter how stupid he was, he still knew the meaning. If the people in Bianliang City knew that the emperor liked Fan Lou's food very much, then Fan Lou's
Business will definitely be more prosperous than now. Even if it is overcrowded, it is okay to increase the price of vegetables. After all, this is the restaurant favored by the emperor.
"As for the money for this meal..." Zhao Zhen thought to himself, this Pan Wen should not be so stupid. The economic benefits he can bring to them cannot be measured by the price of a few dishes at a time.
"Your Majesty's meal is of course free." Pan Wen said immediately.
Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, then waved Pan Wen to leave.
Lu Yao and Zhe Kexing looked at each other and understood tacitly that this emperor was really calculating and not willing to spend money on ordering takeout on weekdays.
"I saved you a lot of time." Zhao Zhen was in a good mood, walked to Lu Yao and said.
Lu Yao smiled and said, "Indeed, in this case, the ministers won't have to come into the palace every now and then to cook. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"However, if there are any new dishes, you still have to come." Zhao Zhen explained.
"According to the decree."
Then, the three people began to discuss which team to call in next. The teams that have not come in yet are waiting outside, namely the Han family, the Cao family, and Zhang Maocai's team.
At this moment, Lu Yao suddenly had an evil thought.
I just helped Zhang Maocai choose the team name, and now I have the opportunity to anger him in front of the emperor, why not?
So Lu Yao immediately suggested that Zhao Zhen meet Zhang Maocai's team.
"Okay, I wonder if Bao Zheng told him about the acquisition of Guilu Inn." Zhao Zhen said.
Lu Yao said: "Judging from Zhang Maocai's reaction this morning, he probably doesn't know about it yet. After all, Zhang Maocai has been busy in the inner city recently. I think that since he has made money from His Majesty, he will naturally want to thank you when he comes in."
, Your Majesty might as well tell him about the acquisition at that time..."
When Lu Yao said this, Zhao Zhen naturally knew what it meant. Zhao Zhen also agreed with Lu Yao's point of view. He just wanted to tell Zhang Maocai in person that the royal money, especially his Zhao Zhen's money, was not so easy to earn.
of.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
So Tang Long walked out of the palace and announced that Zhang Maocai's team had entered the palace.
In fact, Zhang Maocai is still very uneasy now. After all, he also knows that he just made a sum of money from Zhao Zhen through Lu Yao a while ago. Although it is under the banner of benefiting the people, his move is also
There was some suspicion of moral kidnapping. Zhang Maocai was afraid as he walked. Would Zhao Zhen be unhappy?
When he came to the palace, Zhang Maocai was startled when he saw Zhao Zhen's dress. However, according to Zhang Maocai's IQ, he still recognized Zhao Zhen at a glance. Even though this was the first time he saw the emperor, Zhang Maocai had such little brains.
There are still some.
Afterwards, there was another salute, and Zhao Zhen naturally also pretended to do so. Then Zhao Zhen said: "A while ago, I would like to thank you for your advice, Aiqing. I suddenly realized that I wanted to help these common people in Bianliang.
Arrange a good accommodation in the city, and in this city, when it comes to inns, everyone knows that the inns run by Zhang Maocai are nothing to mention."
Zhang Maocai was naturally very happy to be praised by the emperor, and said: "Wherever, it is what I should do to share your Majesty's worries. Your Majesty, as a model for all people, is really a blessing to these people.
I admire you."
Although Zhao Zhen had always heard about Zhang Maocai, when he saw him today, he was indeed a profiteer in his words and deeds. So Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Hey, seeking benefits for the people is what an emperor should consider.
What's more, if they know that the money is from me, it should also help to bring me closer to the people."
With just this sentence, Zhang Maocai already knew Zhao Zhen's preferences, so he looked at Zhao Zhen's clothes today and said: "I see, your Majesty is wearing very simple clothes today. If I hadn't guessed that you were your Majesty, otherwise I would have really
Which team do you think you are from?"
"Haha, you are really good at talking." Zhao Zhen said with a smile, "But since I have worked for the welfare of the people, as a person who makes a lot of money running an inn, shouldn't you also contribute a little bit?"
When Zhang Maocai heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "This is natural. In addition to the cost of accommodation, I will bear all the food and beverage expenses of the people in these three inns."
"No, no, no, what I'm saying is more than that. I need to take a longer view." Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "I don't understand, so please let your Majesty make it clear." Zhang Maocai said.
Zhao Zhen glanced at Lu Yao, and they both looked at each other. Everyone felt that now was the time, so Zhao Zhen said: "That's right, I heard that you actually have two inns in the outer city, one of which is called Guilu.
Inn."
Zhang Maocai nodded and said, "Not bad."
"Did you know that the official venue for this Cuju competition is not far from the Return Inn, and it only takes half a quarter of an hour to reach the Bird's Nest Stadium?"
As soon as Zhao Zhen said this, Zhang Maocai was very surprised. Indeed, he has been busy dealing with matters in the inner city recently and has basically not paid much attention to the outer city. Today, I agree with Zhao Zhen for saying this. It turns out that the Return Inn is the only one in the city.
It is the top priority. When the game starts, this inn will be overcrowded. It seems that the focus of my work has been wrong from the beginning.
Looking at Zhang Maocai who was completely unprepared, Zhao Zhen continued: "I know that Boss Zhang is busy with people's accommodation these days, so it is understandable that he can't take care of the business in the outer city for a while, but don't worry,
Have I completely figured out the countermeasures for you?"
"Oh?" Zhang Maocai's eyes shone, and he thought that the emperor wanted to negotiate a business with me. However, he had obviously lost the opportunity in this matter, but if the two parties cooperated, it would not be wrong to share some of the emperor's money in the end.
Can't.
Thinking like this, Zhang Maocai said: "I wonder what your Majesty's plans are?"
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "That's what I thought. In fact, I sent someone to see your Return Inn before. The size of the inn is indeed smaller. There will be many people watching the game, and there may also be people from
For people from out of town, that inn may not be enough, so I decided to take your Return Inn to the royal family, and then I will fund the construction. I will also send someone to take charge of the subsequent inns, so that you can both
I can receive a large sum of money from selling the land, and at the same time I can save my worries and concentrate on solving the problem of accommodation for the people in the inner city. I wonder what Boss Zhang wants?"
"Ah?" Zhang Maocai felt as if he had experienced a bolt from the blue. He had never thought that Zhao Zhen didn't want to cooperate with him for business sharing. He just took away his land with a formal document. Moreover,
It's still a very valid reason.
He is the emperor, so he can do this. However, if he knows that this inn is so important, he can negotiate the price with him when selling the land. But now he is unprepared and very passive.
Zhang Maocai looked at Lu Yao. For some reason, he always felt that Zhao Zhen's move had something to do with Lu Yao. Could it be that this kid had come to take revenge on him because he had made a fortune through him?
Zhao Zhen looked at Zhang Maocai and said, "Look at what he does, this business has nothing to do with him."
Yes, it does have nothing to do with Lu Yao. Looking at Zhao Zhen's current posture, he is going to settle with him in person today. Zhang Maocai still doesn't want to give up and said: "Everything in the world belongs to your Majesty. Since you have taken a fancy to this place, , I will naturally give it up, but the price..."
Zhao Zhen and Lu Yao had long expected that he would say this, so Zhao Zhen would immediately issue an order at that time. Bao Zheng had already taken action the next day. In fact, the land deed was already in Zhao Zhen's hands.
Zhao Zhen said: "That's right. In fact, after I made this decision, I sent Bao Zheng to negotiate with the shopkeeper of your Return Inn. I checked and found that when you purchased this land, you spent two dollars. After all, Qian Guan bought the land in the outer city area, and the location is not too good. I had previously asked Bao Zheng to give it to the shopkeeper of Guilu Inn, Wu Qian Guan, to buy the land. Now the title deed It’s already in my hands.”
When Zhang Maocai heard this, he almost fainted and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the team member standing behind him helped him and prevented him from losing his composure.
Zhao Zhen had long expected that Zhang Maocai was unwilling, so he said: "Why, do you think this five thousand guan is not enough?"
Lu Yao said at this time: "Boss Zhang, this is more than double the price when you bought the land. It's better to accept it as soon as possible."
You gloating guy! Zhang Maocai cursed secretly in his heart. Although he made three thousand guan in vain, after what Zhao Zhen said just now, how could Zhang Maocai not know the value of this inn? Out of this mere five thousand guan, if the Guilu Inn is opened to accept guests, it will definitely become a gathering place for tourists during this Cuju competition. Then Zhang Maocai's reputation will definitely be louder, and he will also gain more profits.
Thinking of this, Zhang Maocai looked at Zhao Zhen again. The emperor was indeed very scheming. He was not surprised that he could come up with this method. Moreover, business wars always require an advantage. Zhao Zhen already had status privileges. In addition, He has already taken advantage of this matter, and now he can only compromise and accept it.
This is called losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds. Now Zhang Maocai is very regretful. He had morally kidnapped Lu Yao for a small profit and made a lot of money from Zhao Zhen. However, this time he lost But it’s a lot more money than I made before.
However, what can be done? Zhang Maocai can only suffer the loss of being dumb.
So, Zhang Maocai took a deep breath and said: "Since His Majesty has made the decision and has obtained the land deed, it is up to His Majesty to make the final decision."
Zhao Zhen saw that Zhang Maocai had already given in, so he didn't want to say anything more, and then directly asked Zhang Maocai to lead the team down. In Zhao Zhen's view, Zhang Maocai came in just to talk about this matter. As for him, As for the team members, since they were selected by Zhang Maocai, there should be nothing wrong with them, so it’s okay not to watch them.
Zhang Maocai was naturally very angry, but he had to restrain himself and couldn't show it. This expression made Lu Yao burst into laughter.
You dare to earn even the emperor's money and kidnap me morally. This incident will teach you a lesson, Lu Yao said in his heart.
After Zhang Maocai left, Lu Yao looked at Zhao Zhen and said, "It seems that Zhang Maocai has accepted his fate."
Zhao Zhen said: "I just want him to know that I don't care if he makes money from other ministers. If he comes to make money from me, I must show him some respect."
In fact, since Zhao Zhen made money through the lottery industry, Lu Yao felt more and more that the current emperor was a money-keeper, and it was not easy to get him to take money out of his wallet.
After Zhang Maocai left, there were only two remaining teams, a pair of enemies, the Cao family and the Han family.
Originally, Zhao Zhen wanted to let the two families come in together, but this idea was immediately rejected by Lu Yao. After all, the relationship between Cao Yi and Han Yonghe was now on the same level, and the two had a good relationship with Zhao Zhen.
If they really come in together later, it is hard to say whether they will start fighting directly in the palace. In order to save time, it is better to watch them one by one.
Zhao Zhen felt that what Lu Yao said was reasonable, so he proposed to take a look at the Han family's team first.
Han Yonghe glanced at Cao Yi from outside and sneered, which obviously meant that the emperor didn't pay attention to the Cao family's team at all, so he kept them until the end to recruit them.
After the Han family's team arrived at the palace, Han Yonghe was not surprised to see Zhao Zhen dressed like this. It seemed that he knew the emperor relatively well.
After observing the Han family's team, Zhao Zhen sighed.
"Your Majesty, do you think there is anything wrong?" Seeing Zhao Zhen's expression, Han Yonghe asked.
Zhao Zhen said: "Your opponent in the first round is Zhang Maocai's team."
Han Yonghe nodded.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said: "You guys should work hard and train. If this is my first impression now, your team is definitely no match for him."
According to the relationship between Zhao Zhen and Han Yonghe, he naturally said what he said directly. Han Yonghe nodded awkwardly when he heard this, saying that he still wanted to compete with Cao Yi in the second round.
Now it seems that it is difficult for our team to defeat even Zhang Maocai's team.
"But it's still too early to draw a conclusion. After all, we still need to train."
Seeing his future father-in-law losing confidence, Lu Yao tried to persuade him from the side.
Upon hearing this, Han Yonghe immediately said that he would spend more time paying attention to the Cuju team he led and would not embarrass the Han family.
The only thing left is that the Cao family's team has not come in yet.
