Lin Lang, the wood family of the Red Chamber

"By the way, why are you here today? Isn't the emperor busy recently?" Mu Linlang remembered something again.

Tu Yang said flatteringly: "It's not because you are going to Rongguo Mansion for the first time, and my father and I are very worried about you. It just so happens that these days, the things that should be discussed have been done, and my father asked me to come Backing you up."

Mu Lin gave him a white look, "His Rongguo Mansion is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, what else can he do to me? Besides, taking a step back, even if he is really a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, am I still afraid that he will fail?"

Tu Yang smirked, in fact, not only he knows these things, but also today.It's one thing to be clear, but quite another to be uneasy.

Mu Linlang didn't really complain, but just hit Tu Yang habitually, and quickly dropped the topic. "Is the emperor ready for that matter? Have you decided to do it?"

"Almost, but before this matter is officially raised, there is one more thing to do first." Tu Yang laughed.

Mu Linlang turned her head, and immediately understood what Tu Yang was referring to.

The Great Zhou has been established for a hundred years, and the forces in the court are constantly fighting. In the border areas, there are also many foreigners who are always envious of the stability and prosperity of the Great Zhou.From time to time, large and small wars were launched, which disturbed the stability of the frontier and brought a lot of trouble to several generations of emperors of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

As an aspiring young emperor, for such a matter of great importance to Zhou's safety, of course he listed it as a key concern.

In the past, today's emperor would hold back his power because he would not let go of power. After all, the emperor still holds more than half of the military power in Dazhou.

Like the king of Xining, the king of Nan'an, and the king of Dongping among the four kings.Among the four kings with different surnames, only the previous generation, King Beijing, surrendered his military power, and was made a hereditary Iron Hat King by Emperor Gaozu.The other three kings have become obstacles in the way of today's eagerness to take back military power, and they are ahead of their time.How can this be tolerated today.

Among the three kings with different surnames, the king of Nan'an County and the king of Dongping County are both in charge of the navy; while the king of Xining County is stationed in the northwest frontier, where there are many foreign forces, and the soldiers are strong and the clansmen are even more sturdy.Among them, there is even a nation that once ruled the Central Plains and became the lord of the world. They even stepped into the western world with iron cavalry.Nowadays, people from various countries along the Silk Road are still too scared to go out when they hear the name of this nation.

They migrated by water and grass and lived a nomadic life. When the water and grass withered in winter, these people would cross the Great Wall built in the Qin and Han Dynasties, enter the pass, burn, kill and loot, making the people in the pass miserable.

Judging from the emperor's physical condition, it will take at least a few more years to formally gather military power and start a war with these foreigners.

Now, Mu Qing dragged his family back to the capital, and Tu Yang mistakenly worshiped Mu Qing as his teacher. Mu Linlang grew up with Tu Yang again. became his natural ally.

In order to save his dying life, the emperor always wanted Mu Qing to treat him. Unfortunately, Mu Qing didn't like to see the emperor who was about to die in half of his body but still had nostalgia for power.So when the emperor sent Dai Quan to invite him again, he said "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in man", which directly broke the emperor's full expectations.

When a person sees hope, but is cut off hope, the consequences will be very terrible.Nowadays, I am a little suspicious. In order to be able to live forever, the emperor has already been a little bit obsessed. What kind of alchemist pills have been prepared in his Longevity Palace a few years ago.Now that Master Mu is here, the emperor is thinking about the "miracle medicine" in Mu Qing's pocket!How can there be time to pay attention to his old ministers?

Now, apart from the fact that Da Zhou was not very good at the navy, which was still in the hands of Nan'an and Dongping, even the king of Xining County had already been emptied by his subordinates.It is not far from the time when we can completely control the world today.

So recently Tu Yang has followed the busy schedule of today. Mu Linlang hasn't seen Tu Yang wandering around in the National Teacher's Mansion for several days, and she feels a little unaccustomed to it.

However, it feels really good to think that fourth brother Tu can stand outside and openly tell him that he will support him on the day he entered the Rongguo Mansion for the first time.

"It's been a long time since noon, is there any food in Rongguo Mansion?" Tu Yang asked.

Mu Linlang pursed her lips, "I dare not eat even if they keep food! You don't even know that when a foreigner like me goes to their house, those girls in Rongguo Mansion don't talk about avoiding suspicion, at least don't do it That's too much! In the end, I avoided suspicion because of their reputation, but the old lady of the Jia family insisted that I don't have to be too formal, and invited those girls out..."

Mu Linlang had a lot of opinions on Rongguo Mansion, and what happened in Rongguo Mansion this time made him even more dissatisfied.At this time, I saw the bamboo horse and bamboo horse that I grew up with, and immediately told Tu Yang everything that happened.

Tu Yang raised his eyebrows. Hearing Brother Lang say these things, why was he so unhappy?Shaking his head, he shook off the thought in his heart and continued chatting with Mu Linlang.

"I haven't eaten yet. In recent days, in order to compete with the newly opened 'Yipinxuan', the chefs of the time-honored Taibai Building in the capital have tried their best to make something that can be compared with 'Yipinxuan'. Yipinxuan's counter-signature dish is here. I heard that their chef has launched a Buddha jumping over the wall today. They have brought in a lot of expensive ingredients this morning, and they are going to show off their strengths. Why don't we go there for lunch? solve?"

Mu Linlang raised her eyebrows, "In the past few months, 'Yipinxuan' has made a lot of money, right?"

Tu Yang was a little complacent, "Isn't that right? My father has been worrying about money recently, and now that he has made money, he is almost unhappy, and it's for nothing. Sure enough, as Master said, women and children Money is the best thing to earn, and money for food, clothing, housing and transportation is also easy to earn, haha.”

"That's right, Uncle is the patriarch of the Mu family. It's easy to say that he knows astronomy and geography at the top!" No matter how knowledgeable he is, Mu Linlang is still only a ten-year-old boy. It's normal for your own bamboo horses to show off.

"That's true, Master is the most powerful." Tu Yang agreed very much.

The two brothers happily decided where to have lunch, and ordered the driver to take them to Taibailou.

The carriage was driving on the way to Taibai Building, a gust of wind blew by, and the voices of the two brothers could still be heard vaguely, "Are we breaking into the enemy's interior?"

"The so-called know the enemy, know the enemy, and win a hundred battles! Our businesses are all prepared for the army. Of course, the more the better... If people really steal the business of Yipinxuan, those royal chefs in the palace But there is no face. At that time, let alone your father, even the uncle will not spare us."

"Very..."

……

Buddha jumps over the wall, as the name suggests, even if it is delicious, the Buddha can't help but jump up.It is also known as Yanshouquan, Mantanxiang, and all the ingredients used are top-notch, including scallops, sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins, and so on.

In fact, according to Mu Qing's thinking, it's enough to eat enough food, but the food is good and the food is poor. For such a rough man, he really can't eat it!It is not as delicious and affordable as those made from ordinary food materials!

When Mu Qing decided to enter the WTO with her own cubs, Mu Qing planned ahead and began to form an economic force that belonged to their Mu family and Tu Yang——Oriental Commercial Bank.Although he is also a layman in business, he can employ people, as long as he takes good care of Zheng, someone will naturally help him do things.

And he also took advantage of his foresight of the future to form a fleet that was the most advanced at the time.In just a few years, this Dazhou merchant ship named "Oriental Star" has visited every major port in the world today, and at the same time brought back countless information that is very precious to Dazhou.

At the same time, it also introduced Dazhou, a great oriental country, to the people of these countries where it stopped. Just like the Sanbao eunuch of the previous dynasty, the "Star of the East" brought a whole fleet of high-quality porcelain, silk, tea, and some special commodities from Dazhou when it set sail from Dazhou.Then he brought back a fleet full of jewels and diamonds, coffee cocoa, wine spices and so on.

The difference with Sanbao eunuch is that Mu Qing's purpose is very clear, he just wants to do business, which is different from Sanbao eunuch's purpose of diplomacy in essence.

But I have to admit that the fleet formed by Mu Qing has long been well-known in the world.

Among them, the news about the world situation was directly thrown by Mu Qing to the two men of the Tu family.These news from the outside directly led the present to abandon the foreign policy of "closing the country" set by the emperor when he was in power, and decided to follow the practice of the Tang Dynasty, open up the Great Zhou Dynasty, welcome guests from all over the world, learn advanced Western technology, and at the same time Also export the culture of Da Zhou.Over the past few years, a virtuous circle has gradually formed.

Mu Qing is very happy. In this way, even if there will be such a world war in the future, the primitive accumulation of capital will still be accompanied by blood and slaughter. I think that at that time, Da Zhou will play the role of a hunter instead of a hunter. prey now.

As soon as Mu Qing was happy, she directly threw a bottle of small pills to the present, which made the emperor envious...

And those who came from overseas, whether it was ingredients, jewelry, or spices, were all thrown by Mu Qing into the shops opened by the Oriental Trading Company to earn higher profits for them.

With the strong entry of Dongfang Commercial Bank, merchants in Beijing and some larger cities in Dazhou all felt that "the wolf is coming".However, Mu Qing did not practice monopoly like some big profiteers. He knew that an industry can only be vigorous if it has competition.

Some big merchants in the capital first tried their best to kill this new business in its infancy.Unfortunately, as the big backer and shareholder of Oriental Commercial Bank, how could this kind of thing happen today?

Therefore, the bosses of the major businesses who couldn't compete in the backstage had to start in other ways.They are all racking their brains to improve their products. "Taibailou" is such a business.
