Peerless Pirates

Chapter 499 Depressed Pangying

"Master Song, if you practice Tai Chi skillfully, can you gamble and win every time? How many points can you get by throwing dice?"

“Your Majesty, this is impossible to say (Latest Chapter of Ordinary Hackers).

Not to mention that the Holy Master has only practiced for half a year. Even if he practices for a few more years, he may still have difficulties. This involves the control of some techniques and must have extremely strong sensing ability. I am afraid it will be difficult to do now (Traveling Through the Ancients)."

"It turns out - this is it!" Pang Ying pushed Shui Ding opposite him to the ground with a strong force.

"Xiao Dingzi, get up and come again!"

Shui Ding got up from the ground, stretched out his palms and started practicing push hands again.

There is an open space of a hundred feet in the inner palace, which is the little emperor's martial arts training ground. At this moment, Pang Yingzheng and Shuiding are practicing Tai Chi and push hands. Song Zheng and Qian Mancai are standing on the edge of the square with smiles, and there are two young eunuchs far away.

Standing far away.

Half a year has passed since Song Zheng officially entered the palace and started teaching. During this period, Song Zheng and the young emperor got along well. The young emperor was more and more impressed by Song Zheng's kung fu. Pang Ying was also the elder.

When it comes to body, both height and shape are the same as those of Song Dynasty.

Zheng is similar, but both in terms of speed and physical strength, it is hard to match that of a horse. The little emperor is also quite interesting. Once when no one else was around, he insisted on learning common etiquette and asked Song Zheng to be his teacher. Song Zheng was shocked.

After repeated humility, I reluctantly accepted the title "Master Song".

Since the other party recognized his master, Song Zheng did not hide it, took out Tai Chi and taught it to the little emperor. Naturally, the little emperor looked down upon this slow Kung Fu at first, but Song Zheng took a moment.

After showing off a little bit of his hand-twisting power and boasting about his "master's unique skills", the little emperor happily started to learn them.

Of course, the most important thing is that Tai Chi is easier than lifting stone locks. It’s not tiring, and you can hope to develop skills like Song Zheng’s, so why not?

After practicing for half an hour, Pang Ying put away her hand and said, "That's it for today. Xiao Dingzi, Xiao Guizi, Master Song and I are going to Hualin Garden to play chess in a while. You go and get ready."

Shui Ding and Qian Mancai looked at each other, then bowed and left.

Seeing the two of them walking away, Song Zheng stepped forward, handed over a square scarf, and said with a smile, "After practicing for half a year, the Holy Master's push hands are already in shape."

"Compared with the master, we are still far behind (the latest chapter of Thirteen Deadly Needles)." Pang Ying took the square towel and wiped her sweat, "By the way, how is your trading house doing now?

"

"We are ready to start setting up branch offices in Quanzhou and Tokyo. Jiangning was opened three months ago and the current situation is very good. Except for salt, 70% of the bulk goods used in Gyeonggi Province are from trade. However,

, If the Holy Spirit wants to get his money back, I’m afraid it won’t be until this time next year.”

The little emperor nodded, "Let's go, there should be no one in the Imperial Garden. Let's go to the Qingfeng Pavilion to play a game. Let's talk about it later."

"Dare you disobey me!"

The two of them walked north along the palace road, while the two eunuchs followed from a distance.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Song Zheng and Pang Ying arrived at Hualin Garden. Although it was already September, Hualin Garden was still lush and lush, with all kinds of chrysanthemums in full bloom. In the lotus pond the size of an acre, there were dots of lotus pods.

Towering above the water, dancing in the wind.

Qingfeng Pavilion is right next to the lotus pond. Qianmancai and Shuiding are standing there. A sandalwood chessboard has been placed on the stone table. On the chessboard, two white, two black and four seats have been placed. Two boxes of black and white

Yunzi was placed on both sides of the chessboard. A small table next to it was filled with grapes, pears, oranges and other fruits. Two cups of tea were also placed on the table, and the amber tea soup showed a bit of crystal color.

"Your Majesty, please!" Song Zheng made a gesture, and Pang Ying sat down safely. Song Zheng also sat down on the chair opposite, with a box of black chips in his hand.

Qian Mantai brought a cup of tea. After Pang Ying drank it all, he picked up a white stone and slapped it on the table. The place where the stone fell was the Tianyuan position. Then, he picked up another white stone and placed it on the table.

The corner is hung on the black square seat.

Song Zheng laughed, picked up a chess piece, guarded the corner honestly, and the two started playing chess.

Pang Ying also has a wide range of hobbies, and playing chess is one of them (read the full text of The God of Basketball). However, his chess skills are slightly inferior. Therefore, every time, Song Zheng gives one piece and gives way so that the two of them can

Almost a fight.

However, today, Pang Ying's energy was obviously not on playing chess. After just a few moves, Pang Ying said, "Master Song, how many people have been recruited by the Zhenfeng Escort Agency now?"

"Four hundred and thirty-two people. However, there are many merchants from all walks of life who come to the trading house to do business. These more than four hundred people are not enough. If we want to meet the demand, it is estimated that we will need about a thousand people."

"So, Jiangning alone can recruit a thousand people? Then, with the establishment of eighteen commercial branches in Daqi, it can recruit nearly 20,000 people?"

"Absolutely. However, the trading house is so large that it may not be feasible to support more people. We need to find another way."

Pang Ying hummed and dropped another piece.

Speaking of Huitong Trading House, Song Zheng secretly sighed that he was lucky. He also did not expect that when he went to the inner palace to teach martial arts for the third time, the young emperor would ask about it. When Song Zheng explained the affairs of the trading house

, but the little emperor was so smart that he quickly saw the potential of this matter and insisted on getting involved.

Song Zheng naturally wanted to do business together with the emperor. To Song Zheng's surprise, the young emperor actually asked someone to withdraw 100,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and handed it over to Song Zheng.

Although Song Zheng didn't know much about the affairs of the Inner Palace, he didn't expect Pang Ying to actually take out the money. The reason was that the Queen Mother Huang Jiao controlled the Inner Palace, and the person who supervised the expenses of the Internal Affairs Office should also be Huang Jiao's people. Huang Jiao didn't know why.

, actually tolerated the behavior of the little emperor.

It wasn't until a few months later that the cabinet was full of money that it was revealed that the money was obtained through a "transaction" between the young emperor and the Queen Mother. It turned out that Huang Jiao spent a large sum of money on renovating the Queen Mother's palace. Mainly because of the

A large-scale Buddhist hall was built in the Queen Mother's Palace. The entire Buddhist hall was made of red sandalwood.

The scale of the building was even greater than that of the red sandalwood monastery that Monk Mingran used in Dajinyong. In addition, Huang Jiao also gave a lot of money to Hongjue Temple, built a separate courtyard for Di Fei, and even built a separate courtyard for Di Fei.

The very good-looking Jingchen monk also received a lot of benefits (Bitter Love Fengchen txt download).

Since then, it is natural that the Ministry of Internal Affairs' inventory of silver over the years has to be used. After hearing the news, the little emperor was dissatisfied with this, but he did not dare to say anything. However, the little emperor was also smart enough to reward the young generals in the army.

Digging it from the hands of the Queen Mother

One hundred thousand taels of silver came. Huang Jiao also knew that the little emperor wanted to cultivate his own power and win people's hearts, so he agreed to the matter. The little emperor handed over all the one hundred thousand taels of silver to Song Dynasty.

Zheng, it is regarded as the share capital of the trading house.

In this way, Huitong Trading House naturally became a royal business, and the word "imperial construction" was added in front of the little emperor's inscription.

Originally, after experiencing the theft of the silver plate, Bao Zhiqing had to agree that all the cloth business in Gyeonggi Province would be through Huitong Trading House. Other families also relented. Now that the word "Imperial Construction" has been introduced, all major families have

Express full support for the trading house.

The best thing is that the word "Imperial Construction" guarantees the uniqueness of the trading house. Even those with great wealth and power want to build another trading house on a new mountain, but they don't have the courage at this time.

Of course, building a trading bank cannot be so smooth sailing. For example, the Ji family sent people to discuss with Huang Yue, wanting to buy shares, and offered to spend an astonishing five hundred thousand taels of silver to buy 30% of the shares of the trading bank. But Huang Yue consulted

After Song Zheng, he unceremoniously rejected the Ji family. So far, the Ji family's salt business has no plans to enter the trading house. They still only stated that they would only spend one-tenth of the quantity to cope with the situation.

With a thorn on his head, Song Zheng was not in a hurry, because there was another thing he needed to do, and that was the escort team of the trading house.

According to Song Zheng's original plan, a bodyguard was to be established. Unexpectedly, the little emperor directly requested the establishment of a bodyguard bureau, and even named it "Zhenfeng". After several discussions with Song Zheng, Song Zheng understood the little emperor's purpose.

mean.

It turned out that the little emperor not only wanted to use the Zhenfeng Escort Bureau to absorb redundant soldiers, but also planned to cultivate the Escort Agency into a third intelligence force besides Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Division.

As early as a few months ago, there was news that the Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Foreign Affairs Division merged to form Zuo Division and You Division (read the full text of Bloodthirsty Scalpel). However, due to a big dispute between key personnel, there has been no news.

Success. The little emperor looked on with a cold eye. Why didn't he want to take control of these two institutions personally? However, firstly, he really had no available tools at hand.

Secondly, he couldn't get involved in Dark Eagle and the Imperial City Department. Although he also tried to recruit some people, Huang Yuandu and Pang Hui were like two mountains, lying there, which made the little emperor who had not yet taken charge depressed.

He couldn't stop. Only then did he plan to build another intelligence system, and the so-called "Zhenfeng" Escort Bureau was the result of the little emperor's hard thinking.

To talk about the major events that have happened in the past six months, of course it is not just the above. The biggest thing is the imperial struggle over the farming system. Pang Hui wanted to use the farming system to relieve the pressure on military pay. This was originally a good thing, but it was blocked

The resistance of local officials. The county sentiment was strong, but Huang Yuandu was not enthusiastic about it. The dispute between the two sides was that Huang Yuandu wanted local officials to control the farmland, while Pang Hui still wanted to control the scale of the farmland.

After several duels in the court, neither the military nor the government could convince the other. Huang Jiao saw that the dispute between the two sides was so fierce, and it was difficult to make up her mind. Pang Ying, who was not in power, could not intervene in this. Because she was in court

No one in the hall paid much attention to him as a little emperor. Pang Ying was very depressed about this and could only sit on the wall and watch.

There is another very important thing, that is, the feud between Dajin and Xixia, and the two sides are fighting on the border, and there is great intention to fight. Related to this, the fourth emperor of Dajin, Wanyan Yuhui, sent people to Daqi to propose marriage, which caused quite a stir.

It is intended to ease the relationship between Jin and Qi through marriage.

On the Daqi side, the court debated for a long time, and finally decided to marry a woman from a distant relative of the royal family. Although this woman is also known as the Daqi royal family, she is a distant relative, and her father is just a minor official under the Jiangning Mansion. However, Daqi

For some reason, Jin accepted it. In the end, the woman

The son was named the Princess of Yihe and will marry Dajin at the end of the year. After this, the relationship between Dajin and Daqi seemed to have eased, and envoys began to communicate. Although Daqi's side was not very enthusiastic, Dajin's

Bian sent people to deliver things from time to time. Wanyan Yusheng also wrote several times to express his regards to Queen Mother Huang Jiao.

Over the past six months, the young emperor has paid more and more attention to matters in the court, but because he couldn't muster the energy, his face looked ugly every time he returned to the palace.~
