Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

Of course, this formidable enemy is Zhao Can's.

But Zhao Can's is also his safe.So Ping An thought about it, and planned to teach Prince Qi a profound lesson before Zhao Can confronted the other party.

Cui Changshi did what he said, and the next day he came to invite Tian Ying and Pingan to meet King Qi.Tian Ying had discussed with Pingan before, that he would do as the Romans do, after all, this is the territory of the King of Qi, and if An An wants to set up a factory, he will inevitably have to communicate with the Prince of Qi's mansion, so it is not bad to visit at this time.So I readily agreed.

Walking along the street from the residence of the two of them, even the carriage took more than ten minutes. It can be seen that the Qi Wang Mansion occupies a vast area.When he got off the carriage in front of the gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Ping An couldn't help squinting his eyes.This palace building is magnificent and magnificent, almost comparable to the imperial palace. Compared with it, the royal palace outside the city seems simple and remote.

I'm afraid this Prince Qi has not concealed his ambition at all, has he?

All the way in, there are rockery and rocks, rare birds and trees, and the scenery is something that Pingan Suo has never seen before.Even Tian Ying, who had worked in the palace for many years, couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.King Qi is much richer and enjoys more than the emperor in the palace.

It's not that the emperor can't afford such ostentation, it's just that as an emperor, his every move is an example for all people in the world. With the courtiers and censors watching, he can't actually do whatever he wants.In addition, Imagami himself doesn't like these things very much, so it seems that the imperial palace is a bit inferior compared with this place.

But Ping An found it very interesting.The reason why the emperor doesn't put on such ostentation is because he is already the emperor, in charge of the power of the world, and he is sitting on thousands of miles of land.So even if he lives in an ordinary house, no one dares to despise him, because he is the master of the world.Therefore, there is no need for these extraneous things to set off.

King Qi was different.He was just a clan, and it was a clan that couldn't be farther away from the royal family, and his ancestors were demoted here because of mistakes, no matter how you look at it, there is no glory.So don't look at him sitting in the southeast and almost fighting against the capital, but King Qi knows in his heart that these are not justified.

I don't have the confidence in my heart, so I need to put on such a pomp to show my identity and deter others.

After discovering this, Ping An also breathed a sigh of relief.If King Qi was really invulnerable, he might still find it difficult.On the contrary, it is much simpler to make such a big fanfare, for fear that others will not know his thoughts.

The simplest point is that it is impossible for no one in the capital to know about King Qi's behavior.Since the emperor knew it, he would definitely not like it in his heart, and he probably wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of King Qi long ago.At that time, if Ping An takes any action, he will be able to get support from the capital.Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for him to fight against the entire Qi Palace with his own strength.

Therefore, the more rare and rare treasures he saw on the road, the more interested Ping An became, and Cui Changshi, who was leading the way, couldn't help but look sideways.

"I don't know much, and I haven't seen these things. It made Cui Changshi laugh." Seeing the other party looking over, Ping An didn't panic, and explained with a smile.

Tian Ying twitched the corner of her mouth in the back, he didn't believe Ping An's nonsense.Even if there are some things in it that Ping An has never seen before, it will not be so ignorant.

Don't think he doesn't know, when Ping An was in Jiangnan, he was a guest of Wen's family.Such a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, what good things are there?It's just that people won't show it off.Besides, peace of mind, with his ability, I am afraid that these extraneous things can be easily obtained, so there is no need to act like this.

Just say that the golden clock that Ping An gave Miss Wen to add makeup, can't be hidden from anyone at all.I heard that His Majesty was very interested when he found out, but it is a pity that peace is beyond the reach of Jiangnan, so I can only sigh.In the end, the Wen family offered another one, and the matter was settled.

Although Cui Yujun doesn't know Ping An as well as Tian Ying does.However, Ping An made so many things, so it was naturally the focus of Qi Wangfu's attention. Seeing that Ping An's performance was different from what he had imagined, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Where?" Cui Yujun said with a smile, "My lord often said that our Luozhou is just a bigger place, and it can't compare to the beauty in the capital. Are there any good things? You two came out of the palace, so don't say such things Let me be ashamed."

"Isn't it enviable that the place is spacious?" Ping An said with a smile, "When the princes left the palace to open the mansion, I was also lucky enough to see it. Compared with the prince's place, it is far worse."

The meaning of these words is difficult to understand, Cui Yujun laughed dryly twice, and said, "Don't dare."

Fortunately, he was almost at the main courtyard, so Cui Yujun immediately changed the topic.

To Ping An's surprise, he originally thought that King Qi would be a middle-aged man who was about the same age as the emperor, with a gloomy, cold and scheming appearance, but the person he saw turned all his impressions overturned.

King Qi looked less than 30 years old.He was wearing a bright red wide-sleeved robe with a strong sense of presence.Wearing this kind of rich color on a man's body would easily look coquettish and indisputable, but when worn on King Qi's body, it would make his face even more handsome and noble.

He leaned on the soft couch, and didn't move even if someone came in.The ink-like hair was loose, and the white skin, black hair, and bright red clothes formed a strong contrast.

As expected of... Prince Qi who built the palace even more magnificent than the palace, this temperament is really amazing.

In fact, if you look closely, you will find that although King Qi was born well, he still has a handsome and masculine appearance.At least it is far from Zhao Can's exquisite beauty.But he just has the ability to make himself look even better than Zhao Can.Of course, it was compared with Zhao Can who deliberately suppressed her appearance on weekdays.

After the ceremony, King Qi only exchanged a few casual greetings with them, saying something like "don't be restrained when you come here, just come and find someone if you have anything to do", and then waved them away.From the beginning to the end, he looked lazy and careless.

If he hadn't already made a rough assessment of him before, everyone would think that he only pays attention to luxury and leisure, and it is impossible for him to have ambitions when he suddenly sees such a person?

Cui Yujun sent Ping An and the others out, and then turned back. King Qi still maintained that posture, but the indifference on his face had disappeared, replaced by the coldness that Ping An imagined, "How?"

"If you go back to the prince, I'm afraid these two people will be a little tricky." Cui Yujun said carefully.

"Ok?"

Cui Yujun repeated the conversation with Ping An just now, "I'm afraid that sentence was not accidental, he seems to be trying to find out about us."

King Qi laughed, "I like smart people. Dealing with them is always more pleasant."

"What does your lord mean?"

"Your Majesty in our capital city..." King Qi snorted, "I'm getting old and have no ambitions. I can guess what he was thinking when he drove away Qi because of a trivial matter. However, Do you really think that everyone will work hard for their father and son's country, as long as they give some benefits?"

"My lord wants to win over that eunuch Qi?"

"He has done so many things at such a young age, and he has a lot of arrogance in his heart. How can he have no complaints when he is kicked out of the capital? He is not our enemy." King Qi said.

Cui Yujun frowned slightly, "But my lord..."

"I know it in my heart." King Qi said, "He is not an enemy, but he may not be a friend either. However, it is just a deal, which is beneficial to both parties. Presumably he will not refuse."

If Ping An knew that King Qi judged him like this after meeting him, he would not know whether to cry or laugh.

However, King Qi made a conclusion from the perspective of human nature, so it is not surprising to come to this result.If it wasn't because he knew what he was going to do, if it wasn't because Zhao Can was supporting him, I'm afraid that after so many ups and downs, Ping An would have already been disheartened towards the court and the emperor.

It's a pity that King Qi didn't know that Ping'an had been disappointed with the emperor long ago, and had found other ways out. Judging from the original perspective, it is inevitable to make mistakes.

What King Qi thought was that if there were other people behind Ping An, he would not let such a person go, and if something happened, the loss would not be worth the loss.If it was him, he would at least keep him in the capital.After all, Ping'an's talent is not above the court, and it doesn't matter whether he has that position or not.

But they don't know that Ping An and Zhao Can have such a wonderful way of getting along with each other, Zhao Can can't and won't be more unwilling to force Ping An to follow his own will.

Tian Ying soon encountered the first problem after coming to Luozhou. - Site selection of cement plant.

Because of pollution, the cement factory must not be built in the city.If it is outside the city, approval from the local government is required, and officers and soldiers are sent to guard it.

But in fact, everyone knows that in the Luozhou Yamen, there is no way to be the master. The one who can really be the master is King Qi.

But it’s nothing more than choosing a location on the site of King Qi’s mansion. How could Tian Ying agree to let King Qi send someone to help him guard the cement factory?He had suspected that Prince Qi's Mansion wanted to get the cement formula, but he was worried that he would not have a chance to intervene.

It would be a joke if the security issues were really handed over to King Qi. By then, guarding and stealing would probably become commonplace.

Tian Ying has never worried about this problem elsewhere.Because he is working for the emperor, the cement company and the construction company are currently privately owned by the emperor. No matter where the government is, no matter how many thoughts they have in mind, they dare not make any ideas here.

But Prince Qi's Mansion is different.They were used to being unscrupulous, and they were not so afraid of the emperor.They might even feel happy because they dug the foot of the emperor's wall.

Tian Ying worked hard for this matter, not to make wedding clothes for others.

So things stalled.If the cement plant cannot be built, other things will naturally have to be put on hold.

Tian Ying had no choice but to come to Ping An for help.As a result, Ping An had already guessed this point, he was unhappy that Tian Ying was hiding from him, and only thought of him when it was useful, so he had already left Luozhou City ahead of time, and went to the surrounding mountains.

That's right, even in Luozhou, Ping An has not forgotten its great cause of visiting talents.Although not all of these hermits are willing to come out of the mountain, Ping An insists on visiting every one of them based on the principle that no one will be spared.Anyway, one more person means more power. For them now, these are very important.

King Qi also heard about it, but he didn't take it seriously.He has confiscated all the virtuous people who live in seclusion in this southeastern region and who are willing to come out of the mountains.The rest are tough nuts to crack, and he doesn't think Ping An can attract these people.

"However, he still remembers to make plans for the court. He is really loyal." King Qi was dissatisfied with this point. it's not true.

Cui Yujun had a different opinion on this, "It's not necessarily true. I think he might want to avoid going out, so as not to get into trouble with Tian Ying."

King Qi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he also thought of this possibility.After all, it is reasonable to say that Ping An is still Tian Ying's subordinate. It is impossible for him not to know Tian Ying's distress, but he just avoided it at this time. Could it be to show his favor?

"Put pressure on Tian Ying and settle the matter as soon as possible." King Qi said immediately, "If he insists on letting the government send someone to guard, then agree to him."

Cui Yujun immediately understood.

Anyway, it is said that he is a member of the government, but in fact he is still a member of Qi Wangfu?In this city of Luozhou, even a child of a few years old knows who the real decision-maker is.

Prince Qi's Mansion let go. Although Tian Ying had a lot of worries, she finally had to agree to build the cement factory first.After all, they can't be wasting time here all the time, things will be done sooner or later.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Ping An came back!

Ping'an is not in a good mood.

Because he traveled all over the vicinity of Luozhou City, but found that Luozhou is clearly beautiful with beautiful mountains and rivers, and there are basically no people living in seclusion around.Later, when Pingan thought about it, he understood that with King Qi's temperament, if someone lived in seclusion near here, would he let him go?

So these people were either won over by the King of Qi, or moved away knowingly. After a long time, naturally no one would live in seclusion here.

Ping An didn't feel sorry for those who took refuge in King Qi. Since he could make such a choice, it meant that he didn't have much foresight, let alone the person he wanted to find.But nothing made him feel bad and unhappy.

At this time, Tian Ying came to him and asked him what should be done about the confidentiality measures of the cement factory. With the name of the emperor, it will make other people afraid and dare not reach out. But such a huge profit cannot be held in the hands of the court forever, and the merchants will try their best to get the formula. So the result is the same whether it is prevented or not. "

Ping An really thought so.There is never enough money in the world, and in some industries, monopoly is also very undesirable, and the best state is to let a hundred flowers bloom.Therefore, after the initial period of time, as the consumption of cement becomes wider and wider, it is inevitable to open it to private production.

Which imperial court have you ever seen hold this kind of people's livelihood industry in their hands with shallow eyelids?What the state wants to control are military supplies and industries such as salt and iron, and only macro-control is required for other industries.

Since this kind of plan has been planned for a long time, it is also a good choice to spread it through the hands of Prince Qi's Mansion.

——If this suggestion was put forward by Ping An, it is inevitable that some people who do not understand will criticize him.But if King Qi did it deliberately, he would naturally take the blame.

So for this matter, Ping An has always been very relaxed.

But Tian Ying didn't believe it, or rather, he couldn't accept it.It was because of this incident that he became the emperor's confidant and controlled the emperor's money bag. Now that he is asked to hand over the golden hen that lays eggs, how could he be willing?

However, even though Tian Ying's tongue was shining like a lotus flower, Ping An remained motionless.

After Tian Ying became angry from embarrassment at the beginning, she finally realized it.At first, these things were handed over to him by Ping An. At that time, he had clearly made up his mind to make friends with Ping An in the future, but why was he blinded by the immediate interests and began to take precautions against Ping An?

It is impossible for a smart person like Ping An not to notice it, and it is only reasonable to alienate himself.

After figuring this out, Tian Ying regretted it at the beginning. As long as she has a good relationship with Ping An, there will be other things without the cement factory. It is said that the Golden Bell is a cooperation with the Jiangnan Wen family... If it can be handed over to herself, how can the cement factory do it? Comparable?

He was also a bachelor, and when he realized his mistake, he immediately went to Ping An to plead guilty. "I was fascinated for some reason before, and I made a mistake. Don't worry about my safety. You are right. The formula of cement is really clear at a glance, and it is impossible to guard against it. It's just that the cement company is still on the list." Under the library, can't people just take advantage of it?"

Ping An said, "Then you should give His Majesty a note to clarify the matter. Presumably His Majesty knows the cause and effect, and knows that you have tried your best, so you will not blame him."

It had no choice but to be like this.Seeing that Ping An had no intention of helping, Tian Ying had to leave.

Although the matter has been settled, Tian Ying is still not reconciled.Although what Ping An said was reasonable, he believed that as long as Ping An was willing, he would be able to come up with a perfect solution and not let Qi Wangfu take advantage of it.

But who made him offend Ping An?

So Tian Ying had no choice but to keep busy while staring at the Qi Palace, hoping to seize the opportunity to restore peace.

This opportunity is coming soon.After the construction of the cement plant started, the construction of the library should also be put on the agenda.The opportunity Tian Ying saw was the location of the library.

It stands to reason that the local government should be responsible.But just like the cement factory, it is the Qi Palace that can make the decision, and the government has nothing to do.But Prince Qi's Mansion was very cooperative in helping him choose the address of the library.That's right, they took the initiative to provide the controlled land near Qi Wangfu, saying that the library can be built here, no matter how big it is.

The library itself is an excellent weapon to win over scholars. If it is built near the Qi Palace, wouldn't it shorten the distance between everyone and the Qi Palace?At that time, they only know how to thank the Qi Palace, but they don't know how to serve the court, so what should they do?

So Tian Ying immediately came to find Ping An.He knew that Ping An attached great importance to this matter, so he couldn't stand by and watch, right?

However, Ping An's reaction made Tian Ying dumbfounded, because he was very happy to accept the place provided by Qi Wangfu, and even felt strange to Tian Ying who raised objections, "Qi Wangfu intends to support cultural undertakings and contribute to the library, why? unacceptable?"

Not only that, Ping An also accepted tens of thousands of books donated to the library by Prince Qi's Mansion. The library has not been repaired yet, and the books are still in Prince Qi's Mansion. But after hearing about this, all the scholars in Luozhou were very happy. His mouth was full of words of praise for King Qi.

Ping'an's attitude made King Qi more and more sure that he was dissatisfied with the emperor and the court, so he deliberately made things easier for himself.This conclusion made Qi Wang very happy, and immediately asked people to go to see him safely.

Not to mention the greetings, the king of Qi was full of joy, and prepared a banquet for peace. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, he smiled and said, "Thank you eunuch Qi for your trust and help to the palace. Outsiders think I have some bad intentions. Actually I'm just doing it for the people of Luozhou City. After all, I grew up here since I was a child, so naturally I only hope that Luozhou will be better."

"My lord's thoughts are admirable. Whether it is providing land or donating books, it is a righteous act. I think the people of Luozhou City will be grateful to you." Ping An said.

King Qi nodded, praised Ping'an for a few more words, persuaded Ping'an to drink a few more glasses of wine, and after confirming that Ping'an was slightly drunk, he pretended to be troubled and said, "I heard that eunuch Qi is the smartest person. , I have a troublesome thing here, it really haunts me day and night, I want to ask eunuch Qi for advice!"

"Your Highness is ridiculous." Pingan smiled with squinted eyes, and uttered wild words, "But your Highness has found the right person, and there is nothing in this world that makes it hard for me!"

"That's good." Qi Wang said, "the southeast road is mountainous, the land is not fertile, and there is very little production. All along, we can only buy food from other places to supplement. But since there is no production in the field, the people naturally have no food." With more money, I can’t afford to buy food at all. This vicious circle is getting worse and worse, and the life of the people on Dongnan Road is becoming more and more difficult. I don’t know how eunuch Qi can solve it?”

Hearing the words, Ping An propped his chin and pondered for a moment, then pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice and said, "I have something that can solve the problem of the prince!"
