Peerless Pirates

It is actually not difficult to understand Lang Zhengchun's mind. The latest chapter of Emperor Beauty 2: The Demon Phoenix in the Deep Palace. There are two things that matter to those who are emperors. One is dignity, and the other is interests. Those with dignity, the emperor is worshiped by others. Respected interests must be beneficial to themselves and the country.

To put it bluntly, it is best to do everything according to your own wishes, and it is best to do what you want others to do. As a minister, you must act honestly and according to the emperor's wishes.

Song Zheng is a foreign minister, so he naturally does not need to be loyal to the Shu Kingdom, and he cannot follow Lang Zhengchun's wishes everywhere, otherwise, he will not even know how he died. However, Song Zheng also has a way. Don't you want to save face? That's easy to say , I will lower my attitude, be respectful, not arrogant based on merit, and flatter you with more quality, and I will naturally be able to make you happy.

As for the benefits, Song Zheng didn't ask for that much: just sign the covenant and allow Huitong Trading Company to enter, and that would be fine. The covenant does not seek any advantage from Qi State, both sides are equal, and there is no distinction between who is superior and who is inferior. As for the The trading house is also easy to handle. Please ask the royal family of Shu Kingdom to take shares and send people to supervise it. We are only responsible for the operation and management. Everyone can make money. As for rewards and the like, you can take care of it yourself. Anyway, it will not fall into my hands.

After Song Zheng flattered Lang Zhengchun for a while, he finally relieved Lang Zhengchun. Then, he gave the charter he had drafted to Lang Zhengchun for review.

Lang Zhengchun looked at it and found that the specific articles of association were the same as those mentioned by Song Zheng before. They were good for both you and me. Specifically, the two sides set up envoys for each other to strengthen exchanges. When the prince was born, the new emperor After enthroning the throne, the Queen Mother Bintian and others exchanged letters of congratulations or condolences. Moreover, both parties agreed that the dispatch of missions would not be affected by the relationship between countries.

No one can say who gets the advantage and loses in this kind of thing, it just establishes a communication channel. This is what the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom did back then, and there are precedents to be found. From the perspective of future generations, this is equivalent to the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between countries. .

As for Huitong Trading House, Lang Zhengchun was a little hesitant. However, Song Zheng was very thoughtful. After explaining the operating mechanism of Huitong Trading House to Lang Zhengchun in detail, Song Zheng proposed a series of measures and took the initiative to accept the supervision of Shu. The most important thing is What's more, letting the Shu royal family take shares and the profits obtained will be distributed according to shares, which is equivalent to giving the Shu emperor a channel to make money.

Who says that emperors are not short of money? Emperors of all dynasties have their own properties, which serve as their own small treasury. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be annoying if the emperor had to consult with his ministers before using public funds to do anything?

Of course, Song Zheng was not so selfless. After revealing that Huitong Trading House was his own business in an obscure location, Lang Zhengchun nodded silently.

At this time, Lang Zhengchun was mentally balanced: I allow you, Song Zheng, to do business and make money in my country of Shu, which is the greatest reward for you. I have given you the benefits, and I have repaid your kindness.

Cooperate with each other, make money together, and everyone is happy.

According to Song Zheng's idea, Huitong Trading Company is much more affordable than the empty-handed exchange of credentials. With the support of the Shu royal family, Huitong Trading Company can flourish all over Shu. Since then, Huitong Trading Company The bank can control the circulation of goods in Shu, and all the economic information of Shu can no longer be kept secret. In time, it may be possible to control the economy of Shu in disguise.

It’s not that Lang Zhengchun is not smart, it’s just that he doesn’t have Song Zheng’s advanced economic thinking. The pie that Song Zheng drew was too tempting. After Song Zheng proposed a 20% tax rate, Lang Zhengchun didn’t even think about it. He agreed. Even after Song Zheng left Daye Palace, he secretly slapped himself in the mouth. If he had known this, he might as well have reduced the tax rate a little, like ten percent or something, and he would have made a lot of money.

Fortunately, Song Zheng reacted quickly. After seeing what Lang Zhengchun meant, he added an additional clause: Every branch opened by the trading house would be tax-free within three years.

Spring comes early in Chengdu. A few days after the first lunar month, the weather slowly gets warmer. Plum blossoms are like messengers of spring, blooming when the weather turns warm and cold. By mid-to-late February, the countryside is already green and wild.

In front of the Qingjing Hall in the Cui Fu Temple, two pretty female Taoist nuns were clustered under the plum blossom tree, talking and laughing, letting the pink fallen flowers cover their shoulders. At this moment, the Qingjing Hall also exuded a bright and beautiful atmosphere because of the two women. color.

Is the Qingjing Palace not quiet? Sun Buer doesn't think so. In her opinion, both Li Yongxi and Su Chan are like her two children, allowing her to find the warmth of family relationships in the world among the boring scriptures. .

At this moment, she was sitting on a chair on the steps, looking at the two flower-viewing women with a smile, with a look of love on her face. The two female disciples behind her were looking at the two charming guests with envy.

There was a lot of fun outside the palace, but in the east wing at the side of the palace, Emperor Qin's misfortunate concubine, who was not very harmonious, was reading in full. Li Yuanzhen looked angrily at Song Zheng, who was sitting across from him, and felt that the smiling face in front of him was quite annoying.

"You are so good, you actually thought of such a method! You are so clever!" Li Yuanzhen said angrily.

It turned out that Su Chan was imprisoned by Jiang Kui in a small secret courtyard in the southern suburbs of Chengdu, but she was not mistreated. Shortly after Song Zheng rescued Su Chan, he discussed with Xi'er and asked Su Chan to go to a Taoist temple to accompany her. The implication was that : Since we are all a family from now on, let’s get close to each other first.

Xi'er had known that she had many sisters, so she was not very jealous. Especially when she heard about Su Chan's life experience, she immediately felt pity for her and shed a few tears. She was also very happy that Su Chan came to accompany her. Li Yuanzhen Although they cared deeply about her, it was inconvenient after all. Sun Buer's female disciples respected Xi'er a lot, but they couldn't talk to her. If Su Chan came, she would really be a companion.

Li Yuanzhen was very unhappy. Xi'er was a dignified Xixia princess, but it was awkward to be with a prostitute. Although Xi'er had joined Taoism, her identity was there and she couldn't just call her a sister.

In response to this, Song Zheng curled his lips: Are princesses rare? There are two more in my family. Xi'er doesn't care, why do you, an "outsider", object to it?

Of course, Li Yuanzhen was half of his father-in-law, and Song Zheng would not anger him, but would save the country in a roundabout way. He found Qingjing Sanren and said that Su Chan was willing to become a disciple of Sanren and learn Taoism. Qingjing Sanren was from outside the country, There was no sectarian opinion, not to mention Song Zheng had the Chongyang Order, so he agreed.

So, Su Chan washed off all her beauty, put on Taoist robes, and came to be a disciple of Sun Bu'er. She looked very sweet and sweet. Sun Bu'er was very happy, and her original unhappiness was gone. She returned Su Chan The Taoist name was Xuanjing. Li Yongxi's Taoist name was Xuanqing, and Su Chan's Taoist name was Xuanjing. Together, the two of them had the word "Qingjing", which shows that Sun Buer was very satisfied with Su Chan. .

Thanks to Su Chan's clever catering, Xi'er hit it off immediately, and soon the two of them became good sisters, running to whisper under the plum blossom tree.

Qingjing Sanren was Xi'er's mentor, and Li Yuanzhen also respected him very much. Li Yuanzhen couldn't stop Sun Buer from accepting Su Chan as his disciple, so he took out all his grievances on Song Zheng.

Hearing Li Yuanzhen's sarcasm, Song Zheng chuckled and said, "Uncle Li, you don't blame me for this. Chan'er has a Taoist heart and has long admired the name of Sanren. Today, it is considered a worry to worship under the disciples of Sanren."

"Still quibbling!" Li Yuanzhen said angrily, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Don't you want that Su Chan to go to Daqi with us?"

"Uncle Li is a great talent. He can see through my thoughts at a glance. He is indeed as wise as the ocean. I admire him! I admire him!" Song Zheng bowed his head to the end and was very polite.

"Ruhai is a fart! You are treating me like a monkey!" Li Yuanzhen scolded. The boy in front of him was very cunning. He used this cunning to save Xi'er before. Li Yuanzhen didn't say anything, but he still admired him in his heart.

. Now it’s used on myself. It’s really something that my aunt can bear, but my uncle can’t bear it anymore. If I don’t teach him a lesson this time, I won’t know how to deceive others next time. Maybe if I sell myself, I will still help.

He counts money.

Li Yuanzhen is such a arrogant person. He doesn't rub dirt in his eyes, otherwise how could he be as good as the "crazy camel".

"The matter has come to this, I won't embarrass you anymore." Li Yuanzhen said coldly. Before Song Zheng's smile broke out, he heard Li Yuanzhen say, "There is only one condition. If you beat me, I will give you this account."

Cancel it with one stroke."

Song Zheng was shocked, "Uncle Li, aren't you trying to kill me? How can I be your opponent?"

"You don't want to fight?"

"If you want my life, take it now and chop it with a knife. You will save me from being beaten to death later." Song Zheng stood upright, assuming the posture of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.

"Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?" Li Yuanzhen's face turned red, and he stamped his foot, "Song, it's okay if you don't want to hit me. Don't see Xi'er again."

Song Zheng was a rogue, and Li Yuanzhen also used rogue tricks.

Seeing how anxious Li Yuanzhen was, classmate Song Xiaolang immediately lost his heroic spirit and immediately said with a smile, "Don't be angry, we are all a family, why are we so stiff? Just spare me this time, okay? I swear.

, I will definitely be filial to you from now on and take care of you till the end of your life."

Li Yuanzhen felt a wave of bad breath welling up and blocking his throat. He pointed at Song Zheng and said, "You...you..." He couldn't say anything.

Song Zheng is truly the first person to be so angry as the "crazy camel" who is famous all over the world.

The noise inside the house alerted the people outside. Xi'er was the first to run in, followed by Chan'er who looked puzzled.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xi'er stepped forward to support Li Yongxi and glanced at Song Zheng angrily. Song Zheng looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "I told you to have two children with me, but Uncle Li insisted.

They said three boys would be born. I said, one boy and one girl would be just right, but Uncle Li insisted on having three boys. I said..."

"Song Zheng, I'm going to kill you!" Li Yuanzhen could no longer hold back and rushed towards Song Zheng angrily. Song Zheng naturally ran away very fast, and the two of them ran out of Cuifu Temple in a flash.

Behind her, Xi'er's face turned red with embarrassment, as if she was about to drip. Su Chan covered her mouth and sneered, which made Xi'er want to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

"I'll make you laugh!" Xi'er, whose face was getting redder and redder, rushed up and scratched Su Chan's belly. The two of them were laughing and joking, and they got into a fuss.

Sun Buer outside smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How did my Qingjing Palace become Yuelao Palace?"

After having a cup of tea, Xi'er and Chan'er stopped, looked at each other, and said at the same time, "Is he going to be okay?" As soon as the words came out, their faces turned red again.

Li Yuanzhen's kung fu is top notch, and Song Zheng's escape magic is unparalleled in the world. After two hours, the "Kung Fu King" is exhausted, and the "Escape King" still has some strength left. If he takes action at this time, the Escape King will naturally defeat the Kung Fu King. However, The Escape King was more sensible and took the initiative to step forward and let the Kung Fu King beat him twice, and the matter ended successfully.
