Northern Song Dynasty gangster: Start the game with a dog's head, and Mr. Bao spares his life

"Thirdly, the new construction battalion cannot be developed in Bianjing and steal the business of our barracks."

After hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang quickly agreed.

Hearing Cao Bin say that he only believed in himself, he felt a little warm in his heart.

The reason why the construction camp can make so much money is because of its large scale, convenient manpower, and the most important thing is the existence of Xia Laodao.

These days, there are not many high-level craftsmen who do not hesitate to teach apprentices on a large scale. Coupled with Sharrod's civil design skills, the construction camp is profitable.

Princess Zhaoyang didn't think so much, she only knew that doing business with Cao Bin would not lose money.

If you split the bill [-]-[-], you will earn more, so you agreed immediately.

Seeing her leaving with a relaxed expression, Cao Bin chuckled twice, looking forward to the day when the melons will be ripe.

The person behind Chen Shimei is easy to find out. On the surface, it is Wang Shen, the son-in-law of the Princess of Shu, and Zhao Ji and Cai Jing may be behind the scenes.

Apart from using Cao Bin's method to make money, they may have other purposes for their tricks this time.

Now that Cao Bin has let go of the opportunity to invest money and share dividends, they will definitely not be able to help asking Chen Shimei to invest money anonymously.

When Chen Shimei dies, all the money they invested will be dead without reconciliation!

Cao Bin didn't spend a penny, so he could use their financial resources to expand the construction group wantonly, and finally got both money and man...

After this matter was settled, the weather became colder and colder, and the time soon came to the twelfth lunar month.

On this day, the Privy Council suddenly issued an official document to Cao Bin and others.

The emperor will review the new army with all civil and military officials in three days to see the training effect of the soldiers.

The current New Deal is in full swing. If the new army succeeds, it will further demonstrate the correctness of the New Deal, and next year will also increase innovation efforts.

At the same time, business taxes from various places were also reported to the imperial court in advance.

Because the autumn tax has been collected once, this time the tax is the income of the last three months, just to verify the results of the new policy.

What shocked the court was that Xiangzhou's tax revenue in one quarter reached 30 guan, three times more than that of Bianliang.

For a while, there were many discussions in the DPRK and China, and they were amazed:

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being Mr. Kou, the capable minister of the country that Emperor Taizong once praised."

"How long has it been? To manage a humble Xiangzhou to be more prosperous than Bianjing!"

"Even if Guan Yiwu is alive, it's nothing more than that?"

The past month was the time when Fu Bi and others were under the most pressure.

As ministers presiding over the New Deal, they faced too much hostility from the very beginning.

With the support of the emperor, no one blatantly stood up to oppose it at the beginning.

But as time went on, public opinion became more and more tense.

Some people even slandered them for trying to do something wrong, and the implementation of the New Deal became more difficult, with resistance everywhere.

Especially Fu Bi, he hasn't had a good night's sleep for a long time.

But this morning when he got up, he became refreshed, his face was flushed, and he felt comfortable all over.

After a little freshening up, I couldn't wait to go to the morning court.

At today's court meeting, special personnel will be sent from various places to report the detailed tax situation, and he is also looking forward to it.

Xiangzhou's unprecedented huge tax revenue is like a shot in the arm, instantly boosting the declining New Deal.

Although this is a special case and does not necessarily represent the success of the New Deal, it will have a great positive impact during the New Deal period.

"Congratulations, Mr. Fu, this time I gave those who opposed the New Deal a slap in the face."

As soon as he entered the waiting room, he was welcomed in by Pan Renmei with enthusiasm on his face.

Fu Bi cupped his hands and said with a smile, "We're all happy together, I just hope there's good news from the Grand Master."

Pan Renmei smiled, nodded and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Fu, two days later it will be the time to review the new army, I will wait and see."

As he said that, he took a step back and let Fu Bi go first.

Seeing this, Fu Bi smiled helplessly, and walked into the room first without being polite.

He knew what Pan Renmei was thinking, and he also understood that he and others did not share the same goals.

But I and others are alone and alone, and I just need such a person to be the icing on the cake.

As long as he supports the New Deal in attitude, it is enough, and he will not ask too much.

Entering the room, seeing a few confidantes have arrived, they couldn't help but smile at each other, and they all saw the hope and expectation in each other's eyes.

I don't know how long it took, only to hear a loud sound, Wang Yanling said:

"Okay, it's time, everyone, go to court."

In the court hall, the emperor was in a very happy mood. He looked at the crowd with a smile on his face and said:

"You must have read the tax returns from all over the world, right?"

Fu Bi immediately stepped forward and said:

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the New Deal has achieved initial results, but Lord Kou's role is also crucial."

"I don't know that Mr. Kou has such a talent for managing the world. It shouldn't be wasted."

"I ask the officials to transfer Mr. Kou to Beijing for use by the New Deal."

The emperor shook his head slightly, feeling a little displeased, and said noncommittally, "Him? Let's listen to what the people in Xiangzhou have to say."

After a while, the Xiangzhou Taxation Field Worker walked in cautiously.

"Tell me, why did your Xiangzhou's tax revenue suddenly rise?"

The Xiangzhou field manager hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, the new port in Xiangzhou has been gradually completed. Not only is the commercial market prosperous, but the surrounding towns have also benefited."

"Uncle Cao once said that with the new port, Xiangzhou's annual tax must be at least one million guan, which is nothing."

All the ministers were taken aback when they heard the words, and Fu Bi hurriedly asked:

"You mean Cao Bin? Did Xiangzhou rise to prominence because of him?"

An official at the end of the hall couldn't help interjecting:

"Nonsense, Cao Bin has only stayed in Xiangzhou for more than a month, why is it because of him? This must be Master Kou's doing."

The Xiangzhou field manager glanced sideways at the official, and said to Fu Bi:

"My lord, although Uncle Cao came to Xiangzhou for a short time, he eradicated traitor kings, built a port, and helped the people."

"It took so much effort to turn Xiangzhou into a prosperous place."

"Master Kou is an upright official, but after arriving in Xiangzhou, he has followed Uncle Cao's government orders."

"And strictly ordered us not to change anything..."

All the ministers couldn't help but look at each other when they heard the words, and were a little embarrassed.

After receiving the tax return yesterday, they only thought it was Kou Zhun's credit, and they praised it too much.

Moreover, Cao Bin's status as a warrior also made them feel quite shameless.

The emperor showed a smile, and looked at the reactions of the ministers with satisfaction, only thinking that Cao Bin was a treasure bestowed on him by heaven.

He can always inadvertently give himself a huge surprise.

He picked up a memorial from the desk in front of him, and said with a smile to everyone:

"Kou Zhun also has a report."

"He wanted to understand the rationale of Cao Bin's administration, so he followed his decrees and dared not change anything."

"If there is no harvest, he will not leave Xiangzhou."

All the ministers heard the words, and they didn't know what to say anymore. Compared with Yu Shizheng, they were more willing to believe that Cao Bin was superior in martial arts.

They couldn't figure out why Cao Bin, with such an unreliable appearance, made shocking achievements repeatedly!

This contrast is too huge, so some people can't accept it.

As for Cao Bin's literary and martial arts strategy, he is a genius in the world, but he always gets into trouble and messes around.

As soon as he had a better impression of him, he would do outrageous things and make people believe that he was a dude.

Who has ever seen a virtuous official who enters a brothel as if entering a house?Who has ever seen a virtuous minister who was caught and raped in bed?

If he is really a dandy, there are not many dandies like him who make everyone marvel at his talent.

Seeing the silence of the ministers, the emperor said unhappily:

"Why? Cao Bin is so talented, doesn't he deserve a big reward?"

Seeing the emperor favoring Cao Bin, some people couldn't help thinking of Cao Bin's other crime.

This guy seemed to be fooling the emperor with alchemist techniques, and even talked about Qi training techniques, even Kou Zhun acquiesced in his ability.

No effect, who knows if it is true.

Anyway, from their point of view, this is no different from the alchemists who deceived the Lord in the previous dynasties.

At this time, Pan Renmei suddenly stood up and echoed: "Uncle Zhongjing has a genius inside, and I think the court should reuse it."

Fu Bi also nodded and said:

"Grand Master Pan is right. Your Majesty, please transfer Zhong Jingbo to the Third Division. The new policy of the imperial court needs such talents."

He recognized Cao Bin's talent very much, especially this Xiangzhou taxation, which surprised him even more.

In his opinion, Cao Bin's flaws can be regarded as not concealing his strengths, even if he has many shortcomings, it is nothing.

Pan Renmei shook her head repeatedly and said:

"Uncle Zhongjing was born as a meritorious nobleman after all. Compared with his financial management ability, I am more optimistic about his martial arts strategy."

As he spoke, he said cryptically:

"Using troops in the coming year is the most important thing, maybe let him lead the army all the way, maybe there will be unexpected joy..."

Prime Minister Wang Yanling shook his head and said:

"Although Cao Bin has done a good job in several errands, after all, he is only a young man, and he may be inappropriate for entrusting such an important task."

The emperor pondered for a moment, waved his hands and said:

"Then take a look at the training of the new army this time. If he lives up to his high expectations, I will not hesitate to promote young talents."

The new military academy, Cao Bin's barracks.

He was lying on the couch, listening to Qiongying reading a book of "Sima Fa".

The rhythmic and crisp reading sound made him drowsy.

Zhang Zhenniang peeled a grape and put it in Cao Bin's mouth, and suggested:

"Miss Qiongying, the book of war is too boring, let's read it with a Buddhist scripture."

Qiongying said seriously: "If it's Buddhist scriptures, you can find someone else to read them."

Cao Bin glanced sideways at Zhang Zhenniang, and said speechlessly:

"Sister Zhen, I am studying the art of war. Do you think I am hypnotized by listening to books?"

Seeing Cao Bin open his eyes, Zhang Zhenniang couldn't help but sneered and said:

"I thought Uncle was going to sleep soon, so I want you to sleep soundly..."

At this time, Hu Sanniang hurried into the barracks holding the two knives around her waist, took a big gulp of the hot tea on the table, and said anxiously:

"Uncle, I secretly watched the training progress of the Yang family and Xie Jinwu."

"They have mastered the four army formations, we are too far behind."

"The imperial court will inspect it tomorrow. If we don't think about it, we're afraid we'll lose..."
