Chapter nine hundred and ninety-four: strong dragon does not suppress the snake
Ye Chunqiu tasted a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.
This meeting was not for the sake of tea tasting, and there was no need to think about it. Ye Chunqiu also understood that the next thing was to have a friendly conversation with His Royal Highness of Zhou.
King Zhu Muqiu of Zhou was obviously very enthusiastic about the candidates for shareholders. Ye Chunqiu was just a separate promise to him after all, and as for how much others could get, he was somewhat concerned about it.
Therefore, when he asked, Ye Chunqiu said his thoughts roughly, Zhu Muqiu nodded and said, "It seems that there are still many people involved, but it is safe to do so. If Zhenguo Mansion needs some place to contribute, hello to me. Not to mention anything else, the Zhou Mansion can still speak in the Henan Provincial Administration and the Zhou Mansion."
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but be surprised, but soon, he suddenly felt happy that this time the launch of the shareholding system seemed to have received an unexpected benefit - local relationship.
This was the Ming Dynasty. In this era of inconvenient transportation, many times, imperial power was useless. Therefore, although Zhenguo Mansion was named Zhu Shou, when he arrived at the place, although others might give you a good face, it was just that the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. If it involved interests, it would inevitably cause some trouble.
It’s better to be in charge of county officials now. You are an outsider. If you want to expand your business, there are so many checkpoints along the way, and you still have to go up and down countless local officials. None of these people is a fuel-efficient lamp. When you encounter a cruel person, you are an official in the daytime and may be a thief at night. You may not be able to directly cause you to corpse in the wilderness.
Those "bandits" entrenched everywhere will never be clean. Why? If there is no background behind it, you are worthy of being a thief?
But these shareholders are different. After all, they are involved in their own interests. For example, King Zhu Muqi of Zhou, who has a greater influence in Henan, especially Kaifeng, may be even greater than the emperor. After all, His Highness of Zhou is a local snake and has been in Kaifeng for several generations. What can you hide from him? Moreover, they are rooted in Henan and have princes close to him. It can be said that the Zhou family has a prince and four or five princes. Although they dare not rashly engage in government affairs, and they dare not interfere in military affairs, in Henan, it is as easy to kill a few people.
There are many such shareholders. With the relationship between shareholders, China Merchants Group can take this opportunity to build a powerful local network of connections. In the future, China Merchants Group will definitely set up branches in various prefectures in the world, and make in-depth efforts and layout. When they arrive in Henan, they will definitely rely on King Zhou. When they go to Yunnan, they will have to ask for help from Duke Qian. When they arrive in Nanjing, Duke Wei can become a protective umbrella. Such connections can solve many troubles and eliminate many disasters. In the later generations, transportation and communications are so developed, and there is still a saying that the government orders cannot be out of XXX. Zhenguo Mansion far away in the capital, even if they have shares in the palace, what can they do? A strong dragon does not suppress local snakes, and now... these local snakes have become their own "shareholders" without realizing it.
Ye Chunqiu was really overjoyed and said tactfully: "For this reason, thank you Your Highness."
In addition to being a shareholder, I am afraid that there will be other contacts with the Zhou royal palace in the future. Ye Chunqiu was not polite and asked about the return date of the Zhou king directly, and then said: "Since your highness is not in a hurry to return to the vassal state, then on the first day of next month, at the meeting of the shareholders' bureau, your highness will be asked to go there. At that time, the boy is waiting for your highness to be in the shareholders' bureau."
After a pleasant greeting, Zhu Muqiu obviously had a good impression of this kind and polite and quite "capable" Duke Zhenguo, who had a good impression of him. He had changed his previous sternness and his tone became a little more kind.
Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Chunqiu said goodbye: "I haven't returned home for many days, but I'm afraid my family is already anxious. If I have time, I will come to visit you next time. Wan Wang Your Highness will not feel that it has disturbed Your Highness's tranquility. Your Highness, say goodbye."
Zhu Muqiu friendlyly sent Ye Chunqiu to the middle gate, smiling and trying to watch Ye Chunqiu get on the car, but suddenly he thought something and couldn't help but instruct: "Now that the new policy has been deposed, Liu Jin is in trouble, but he has many followers, but he still needs to be careful."
Ye Chunqiu smiled at him easily and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
After saying that, Ye Chunqiu got on the crane cart. After sitting down, he felt a little tired and fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.
When he returned home, the mansion was told by Ye Chunqiu that the matter was kept hidden from Wang Jingchu and Old Lady Ye, except for the official Ye Dong. However, Old Lady Ye could see some clues. Although he did not question Ye Dong too much, he always seemed depressed. When he heard that Ye Chunqiu finally came back, he felt relieved and wanted to come out to pick him up with a trembling trembling.
Halfway through, he saw Ye Chunqiu wearing a python suit and coming towards him in high spirits. Old Mrs. Ye couldn't help but complain: "Why are you back now? Is something wrong?"
Ye Chunqiu bowed to the old lady and said obediently: "Where can happen? My grandson is just doing some official duties."
Old Lady Ye still felt that Ye Chunqiu was hiding something, but when he saw him come back safely, he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he was shocked and said, "Your father has come to write a letter."
When Ye Chunqiu heard his father's letter, he was a little excited. He hurried to the study room. Old Lady Ye called him the letter, which was another letter from home. Looking at Ye Jing's handwriting, Ye Chunqiu felt a warm feeling, so he moved the oil lamp closer and read it carefully at the oil lamp.
In addition to some due greetings, the contents also talked about Ye Jing's recent situation. The court had added him to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. This time it was a blessing in disguise. Then an imperial order was passed to him, ordering him to pacify the military and civilians of Ningxia towns. Ye Jing's mission was quite easy to do. After all, many people's life and death were in his hands. The newly promoted Ye Shaoqing was very generous. He almost eliminated all the bad policies of Zhou Dongdu before, and remeasures the land in reality. He also tried his best to appease some military officers who had made mistakes. He also provided pensions for those who died in the rebellion. Ningxia has now been settled.
