Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

"Oh? What is it?" King Qi asked immediately.

However, Ping An just smiled at him twice, then fell down on the table with a plop, passed out drunk.

Cui Yujun stepped forward to check, then turned his head helplessly and said, "My lord, I'm too drunk to drink."

King Qi sat up straight. At this moment, his face was still slightly drunk. He gave Pingan a helpless look, "Forget it. I planned to get him drunk. It's normal to drink too much for a while. Fortunately, I have already asked something. coming."

Cui Yujun arranged for someone to come over and help Ping An down to rest, and then asked, "He said there is something, what does the lord think it is?"

King Qi thought for a while, and said, "Since it is something that can solve the problem of low production in the southeast land, could it be a new rice seed? I heard that the palace has been cultivating crops that increase production, but our people's status is low, and the news we get is always Paradoxical, misses the point. Maybe, this peace is also mixed in."

"I don't know what the origin of this person is. Since he appeared, he has created a lot of new things." Cui Yujun said, "Now there is a big change in the capital city in three or two years, and it is almost impossible to keep up. "

"If you have such a talent, you should use him quickly. Our Majesty... Huh!" King Qi showed a bit of disdain, "He is familiar with this way of balance, but he doesn't want to think about it. Are you willing to suffer this kind of torture?"

Cui Yujun didn't want King Qi to place too much emphasis on peace, it was a very delicate thought.He himself is King Qi's confidant, although he also hopes that the more powerful King Qi is, the better, but that is with his help, if someone can replace his position, it will be different.

Cui Yujun didn't like Ping'an as soon as he appeared, he always felt that the other party was too aggressive and very difficult to deal with.If King Qi took a fancy to him and wanted to draw people here, wouldn't he want to suppress himself?So his proposition is to gain benefits from Ping An, but at the same time guard against Ping An.

Fortunately, this will make King Qi still have the same thoughts as him, so Cui Yujun will naturally not try to persuade him, but instead turn the topic back, "Your Highness, I think he is very sure that this thing seems to be with him all the time. What does it look like. Why don't we have someone search it?"

"Nonsense!" King Qi frowned and scolded, "Even if you find it, how to plant it, and what regulations follow, you still have to rely on him. Could it be that time will tell him: We stole your seeds but Can't plant?"

That's the real shame.

To be honest, if he is sure of planting it by himself, King Qi himself would like to get the seeds secretly, so that Ping An will not dare to say anything.But in the current situation, it is obvious that safety needs to be relied on, so we can only discuss it with him.

Moreover, the seeds are only possible situations, their own guesses, but they may not be correct. If not, wouldn't it be self-defeating?

Even if it is indeed a kind of seed, it is difficult to ensure that Ping An does not set up a trap.For example, bring another seed with you to confuse the public.In case of a mistake, who is to be held accountable?If the seeds were taken out by Ping An himself, you can ask him about everything after that.This is the result that King Qi hopes to see.

Here the master and the servant were discussing how to get benefits from Ping An, and after being subdued there, Ping An was completely drunk to death.

The drinking capacity of his body is indeed average, and the reason why he can survive until he is drunk without forgetting his business is all due to his strong willpower.This is a skill cultivated in the business field in the previous life. Until the moment you lose consciousness, you will always remember your purpose. ——For example, let the partner agree to sign the contract.

So after confirming the purpose of the other party's temptation and giving a hint, Ping An got drunk.

The main reason is that he hasn't figured out how to "solve" this problem for King Qi.This solution must be that it seems to be beneficial to Qi Wang, but in fact it is disadvantageous.Or to put it another way, there are benefits in the short term and disadvantages in the long run.

In this way, King Qi got in on his own initiative without his setting up traps.Even if something goes wrong in the future, I can't blame him.

With these thoughts in a daze in his mind, he fell asleep peacefully.

As expected by Pingan, after waking up the next day, he offered to leave, but King Qi enthusiastically kept him at the mansion for a longer period of time.It's hard to turn down the hospitality, so Ping An naturally lived in Prince Qi's Mansion.If there is one, there are two, and every time Pingan proposes to leave, King Qi will find various reasons to keep people.

At first Tian Ying was a little worried, and sent someone over to ask a few times, but then stopped.

Probably because of asking for help from others, King Qi is very generous to Ping An.Ping An lived in the largest guest courtyard in Prince Qi’s Mansion, with beautiful scenery and magnificent decorations, high beds and soft pillows, and silk and satin.

The other party is so enthusiastic, and Ping An is naturally happy to enjoy it.Anyway, it was King Qi who was anxious, not him.

Just when Ping An was living in Prince Qi's Mansion and seemed to be a bit reluctant to leave, Prince Qi's Mansion also successfully broke into the interior and got the cement formula.

None of them thought that this recipe would be so simple.And with such a simple formula, no one else did it?

In fact, this is also a misunderstanding.Because cement has never been seen before, for the ancient people whose chemistry has basically been in its infancy, and where the fastest development is in the alchemy room, it is naturally impossible to make such things that cannot be explained by themselves.So no one thought that the formula of cement was really that simple.

In addition, the deterrence of the royal family is also very useful.

Originally, there are many wealthy businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River, and there will be one or two with this kind of thinking. After all, when capital is faced with benefits, it will naturally be moved and take risks for it.What about the emperor's business?Don't you see that in ancient times, Lu Buwei even the emperor dared to do it as a business!

However, although businessmen are profit-seeking, they are also most aware of current affairs.Once you know that you can't do anything, you will give up immediately.

So when he was in Jiangnan, because Ping An had a good relationship with the Wen family, he became a guest of the Wen family, and finally cooperated with the Wen family in the Golden Bell business.Later, after Ping An discovered this sign, it simply asked the Wen family to help take the lead and provided the business of making down jackets and duvets, so that everyone could get involved.

At this time, Dachu already had cotton.Although no one can tell when and where it came in.But the first generation of Jiangnan was indeed planted.It is a pity that because of the quality of the cotton, the things made are not satisfactory.Therefore, for rich and noble families, silk brocade is more desirable.

It's just that no matter how good the material is, he doesn't keep warm!So another use of cotton was discovered later, and cotton padded clothes came into being.It's just that this kind of clothes is very bulky, and it takes a lot of effort to dry after washing once, and the cotton inside may clump together.

So everyone is not satisfied with this kind of clothing to keep out the cold, and more people are used to using fur to keep warm.It's just that the fur is rare and there are not so many of them.

So in a word, for the people of Dachu, the warm clothes that are really popular all over the country and satisfy everyone have not yet appeared.Therefore, once Ping An's down jacket was launched, it was immediately affirmed by everyone.

Da Chu has a population of tens of millions, even if only half of them can afford this down jacket, that's tens of millions!In addition to that, there are businesses like duvets.With such a big business, naturally no one is keeping an eye on the cement factory.

It's just that it was too late last year, and the production of this down jacket has not yet started, so there is no news outside.Many people were surprised that Jiangnan arrived so peacefully this time, but they didn't know the reason.

Anyway, after getting the cement formula, King Qi, who is not afraid of anything, ordered people to prepare to open a factory.At this time, Tian Ying's memorial was also sent to the emperor by the court.

In fact, King Qi reached out like this not once or twice.Otherwise, how can it be possible that the tax received is only so little?But once the taxes are handed in layer by layer, everyone is arguing with each other. If they want to liquidate, the entire southeast officialdom may be uprooted, and it is impossible to investigate.Secondly, the emperor hadn't planned to turn against King Qi, so he could only pretend that he didn't know.Three times... After the taxes and taxes come up, they are collected into the national treasury after all. Although it is also the emperor's money in name, the emperor cannot use it.

But the income of the cement factory is different, it is the income of the emperor's internal treasury!King Qi's reaching out hurt the emperor's own interests, how could he agree?

So when he received the news, although the emperor complained that Tian Ying couldn't do things, he also understood in his heart that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, and even the governor of Dongnan Road would not be able to stop the offensive within half a year, and he would join forces with King Qi , let alone Tian Ying?

The emperor felt that King Qi was tolerant enough, but King Qi didn't intend to restrain himself at all, and now his hand was stretched out to his side, which was simply unreasonable.

So he wasn't going to be patient anymore.

The movement of the clan has always been the most sensitive thing.If it wasn't for the complicated origins of King Qi's family, it would have been dealt with by successive emperors long ago.Although it is tricky, but if you have seriously made up your mind to cut off the wrists of a strong man, will it be impossible to deal with it?

The reason why they are kept is nothing more than to show their kindness to the people of the world. Of course, this is also because King Qi's family jumped back and forth, but they didn't touch the bottom line.

But this time it was different.

Once he made up his mind, the emperor would become very calm, and began to think about where to start and what to do to minimize the impact.At this time, he was as cold as an emperor.

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor suddenly said, "Last night, I dreamed that Emperor Xuanzong fell into a dream, and said that the ancestral tomb of the ancestral temple is also an important place for sacrifices. After waking up from the dream, I thought about it, probably because I have not sacrificed to the ancestral tomb for many years. When I thought of this, I thought about it. Very frightened."

Since it was the first emperor who entrusted the dream, the words came out of the emperor's mouth, no matter whether it is true or not, everyone can only take it as true.Besides, if you think about it carefully, it's true that you haven't visited the ancestral tomb for many years.The emperor has this idea, and everyone will naturally not object.

So the courtiers came out one after another, thinking that the emperor should send people to Luozhou to worship the ancestral temple and clean the ancestral tomb.

Everyone has even started to discuss who is more appropriate to send there.

As a result, the emperor said again that since he took the throne, he has not gone to Luozhou to pay homage in person once, and he is really ashamed in his heart.When I came in, I just felt that my energy was getting worse. Maybe it was not a holiday, so I planned to go there in person.

In fact, the emperor's body is not as good as before. Everyone knows it in their hearts, but they don't say it clearly.After all, since the beginning of spring this year, the emperor has been ill twice, that's all for the court meeting.Moreover, most of the recently approved memorials were not written by the imperial pen Zhu Zhu, but were probably written by the eunuch Bingbi around him.

But he knew what he knew in his heart. When the emperor said these words, the courtiers could only kneel down, praising him for his prosperity in spring and autumn, his dragon spirit and tiger fierceness. It was too much to say that he was not in good health.

After all, the emperor can say such things, but the courtiers cannot respond.

However, someone soon reflected on it, following the emperor's will and cautiously said, this trip to Luozhou is far away, and the cement road has not been repaired yet, and the hard journey, I am afraid the dragon body will not be able to bear it.It's better to wait two years before the road is repaired.

The emperor agreed, but at the same time he was very worried, worried that Emperor Xuanzong had dreamed of him and if he didn't go to sacrifice and sweep, he was afraid that the ancestors would not be happy.

After going back and forth like this, everyone tried out the emperor's mind.It is true that the emperor wanted to worship the ancestral temple and clean the ancestral mausoleum, but he did not necessarily want to do it himself.However, it is certain to send someone with sufficient weight.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and was about to ask the emperor to think about it, and then discuss this matter after everyone went back to discuss it, but Zhao Can had already stepped forward and said, "Luozhou road is far away, how can we let your majesty come and go? My son is willing to be the king." Let my father share his worries and go to Luozhou to pay homage to the heroic spirits of my great Chu ancestors!"

All eyes were now on him.

The reason why everyone knew that the emperor wanted to send someone with weight, but no one nominated the prince, was because this topic was very sensitive at this juncture.Most of those who can go to pay homage to the ancestral temple are heirs.The emperor just said that he was not in good health, and you said that you would go there on his behalf. Isn't this a fight for the throne?

In this case, if a taboo is violated, even the prince will be disposed of.

But Zhao Can's situation is a bit special.With the words of the Changchun real person before, everyone is thinking about the catastrophe of life and death in his natal year!No matter how brilliant he was before, it would be useless if he couldn't survive.

So even though he was the best of the emperor's many sons, many people didn't think he was a threat.After all, it is impossible for Master Changchun to talk nonsense. If he said it was a catastrophe of life and death, then it must be a catastrophe of a narrow escape, and it is not so easy to escape.

Besides, even if Zhao Can can escape the catastrophe given by the heavens, will he also be able to escape the schemes of other people one by one?

Zhao Can saw their intentions clearly, so he dared to stand up.Because whether it is the emperor or other brothers, as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that he is the most suitable person. ——He will definitely be eliminated in the future, but now he is the most eye-catching. For such a sensitive matter, it is better to leave it to him than to let others get it.

This is an opportunity bought by the death and hard work of Ping An in the previous life, and Zhao Can will not miss it.Since he has an advantage, he must use it.No matter what these people think in their hearts, every time he does something, the credit is real.On the day when he passed the so-called life and death catastrophe, when everyone looked back, they would find that he had reached a place where everyone could only look up to, step by step.

That position will not belong to anyone else.

For the other princes, the benefits that they can't get, others can't even imagine.But Zhao Can was going to die sooner or later, they were not so afraid.As for the ministers, after Zhao Can spoke, it was not appropriate for them to express their views on this matter.

So although the atmosphere was weird, no one objected.So the emperor finally agreed to Zhao Can's request.

After the next court, the emperor called Zhao Can to the original palace.In addition to telling him what he needs to pay attention to along the way, there is another thing to tell him.

Collect evidence against King Qi.This is the mission entrusted to Zhao Can by the emperor.

After careful consideration, the emperor must also admit that it is more appropriate to entrust this task to Zhao Can.He is clever and capable, often has unexpected actions, and is the best of all sons.Presumably, going to Luozhou this time will not disappoint him.

Zhao Can knew early on that the emperor would not open his mouth inexplicably to sacrifice to the ancestral temple, after all, this did not happen in his previous life.

Because the emperor had been ill several times, the brothers had faintly begun to exert their strength at this time in the previous life.Only at this time did the emperor realize that his sons had their own thoughts, so he was busy suppressing them. How could he care about the ancestral temple and imperial tomb in Luozhou?

In this life, from the very beginning, Zhao Can carefully controlled and managed to expose the little plans of the princes early, so the emperor was quite aware of the respective strengths of the several sons.Even if there is some concealment, the difference will never be too big.

In this case, he was naturally free to take care of other things.

Presumably, after receiving the news from Luozhou, he finally made up his mind to deal with King Qi.Zhao Can understood the emperor's mentality very well. Once he made this decision, he would definitely get rid of King Qi before he died, leaving a big Chu that was easier to control for his successor.

So he immediately took over the task, and then left to go back to prepare.

With Kai Yang at Ping'an's side, Zhao Can naturally knew that Ping'an was also in Luozhou.After winning this opportunity, maybe the two of them could still meet there.Even under the eyes of King Qi, it is easier than in the capital.

When Zhao Can was leaving for Luozhou, King Qi finally ran out of patience and found that it was impossible for Ping An to take out the things on his own initiative, so he simply asked him directly.

King Qi still held a feast for Ping An on this day, and asked this question when the wine was hot, "Last time, Ping An, you said that there was a way to solve Gu's embarrassment. What can I do, I have no choice but to ask Ping An for advice."

"Don't dare to do it." Ping An hurriedly gave way, "The prince really puts his heart and soul into the southeast people, which is very admirable. I'm just talking about it. If I can help the prince, it would be great. In fact, what I said Things are just an idea. Has the prince ever thought that God’s creation always has its merits, and the things that the old man wants to give to the people in the southeast are already here?"

"Here? What does this mean?" King Qi asked.

Ping An said, "Your Majesty cares about farming, and he knows that the growth of various crops has different requirements. Therefore, it may not be useful to plant things in the southeast. On the contrary, the things that are already in the southeast, if they grow well If it is operated, it will naturally make a lot of money and benefit the people.”

King Qi listened very carefully, so he was not satisfied with Ping'an's way of saying half and hiding half, "Ping An, don't be sloppy. If it is according to what you said, what things in our southeast can catch your eyes? If that's the case, then I will be grateful to you!"

"My lord is serious, thank you very much. I heard that the eight treasures of the Southeast China Sea are the most famous. As long as my lord invites me to a table, I will be grateful." Ping An made no secret of his love for food.

This point is similar to the result of King Qi's investigation, and he readily agreed, "If your idea is really useful, let alone Haibazhen, even the eighteen treasures will be obtained for you!"

"Has the prince ever been to Jiangnan?" Ping An asked.

Naturally, King Qi had never been to the south of the Yangtze River, after all, the imperial family could not leave at will.But Ping An doesn't believe that King Qi is really such a peaceful person.Otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting here.

Sure enough, King Qi avoided answering this question, but said, "This king has heard about the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. Let's talk about peace!"

Ping An said, "My lord should know that the south of the Yangtze River is rich. Although part of this is because the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and the water source is abundant, it is a land of fish and rice. But in my opinion, it is more because the people in the south of the Yangtze River know how to manage. The population of the south of the Yangtze River The land is dense, and many people’s land is not enough to support a family. So many families grow mulberry and silkworms to subsidize their families. Eighty to ninety percent of the silk in our Dachu comes from the south of the Yangtze River. And silk is expensive, selling a bolt of silk , I’m afraid it’s enough to buy rice for a whole family for one month.”

"Ping'an means that we also follow the example of Jiangnan? But the terrain in the southeast is mountainous and hilly, and the water volume is not so much. I'm afraid it's not suitable."
