Chapter 173 Zhou Kui's Thoughts

The subsequent cooperation talks went smoothly, some details, no matter whether Zhou Kui understands them or not, he wrote them down, and planned to report them to His Majesty after returning to Beijing.

After the cooperation talks, Zhou Kui stayed in Yangzhou for a few more days.

Travel with beauty during the day, and accept banquets from local officials and wealthy businessmen at night.

In just a few days, it opened his eyes.

It is common practice for prostitutes to sell wine and have banquets.

Never tire of eating fine, the pursuit of square things.

Extravagance, extreme desire, recklessness, and unrestrained behavior.

What surprised Zhou Kui the most was "playing with shoes and cups".He had heard of it before, but it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.I saw well-dressed officials or businessmen drinking with prostitute shoes.

that scene.

How the hell can play.

A few days later, seeing that there was no reason to stay any longer, Zhou Kui planned to return to Beijing.

"Master, do you really not want to stay for a few more days? There are still many people who haven't had time to entertain the Lord." On the pier, Xiao Quan led people to send Zhou Kui to the boat, and asked sincerely.

"No. Now that the business has been decided, make preparations when you go back, open the business one day earlier, and make a profit one day earlier." Zhou Kui shook his head, rejecting Xiao Quan's persuasion.

"Okay! If that's the case, I wish the father-in-law the best of luck. Xiao Wu, bring the things." Xiao Quan ordered to Xiao Wu who was behind him.Xiao Wu took a tray and stepped forward.

"Master, this is the deed of the garden you have lived in for the past few days. From now on, Yangzhou City will be your second home. You should come back often!" Xiao Quan took the deed and handed it to Zhou Kui respectfully. hands.

Zhou Kui was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

"This, isn't it?"

"Don't worry too much, Mr. Guozhang. I still have a few gardens nearby, and this garden is also idle. Being able to live in this garden will increase the surrounding land prices several times. Speaking of which, I earn more than I do." There are many gardens in this one. Besides, it is an honor for the whole Yangzhou to be able to buy a house in Yangzhou. If you don’t accept it, I’m afraid the hearts of the people in Yangzhou will be chilled.”

"Really?"

"It's true."

"Then I reluctantly accept it?"

"It has to be accepted."

Zhou Kui took the house deed with a smile and put it in his arms.

"Then, there will be a period later!"

"Congratulations to the father-in-law!"

"Congratulations to the father-in-law!" Xiao Quan said, and more than 100 people behind him spoke at the same time.

Zhou Kui's mood was a little agitated, and he stepped on the board of the boat and got on the boat without looking back.After turning around and waving, he walked into the cabin.

Yingying and Yanyan in the cabin are all women.

There are two who serve as bed servants, four who are on the cruise ship, and two who have never seen each other before, plus Yu Nu.A total of nine women.

"These two?" Zhou Kui asked Yu Nu suspiciously.He knew that Xiao Quan must have arranged for the other people, but he really didn't know what happened to the two unfamiliar faces.

"Master, these two are different. They are both skinny horses trained by the nanny, and they are both perfect. They were given to Master Xiao to be his concubine."

When Zhou Kui heard this, his already agitated mood immediately surged.

Lao Xiao is a man who can get along, and it's a gift to have a woman!

Amidst the attention of everyone on the shore, the boat moved slowly.

"Is the father-in-law reluctant to go back?" Yu Nu asked with a smile, looking at Zhou Kui who was staring out of the window in a daze.

Zhou Kui smiled and said nothing.He was really thinking about what had happened these days.

Here, he not only saw the scenery different from the capital city, ate delicacies that he seldom saw, and played with women of different styles.Most importantly, he felt the importance attached to him from these people.Or is it?respect?

This is something he couldn't enjoy in the capital, or something he couldn't enjoy before being pushed out by His Majesty.

This feeling is really good.

He was really reluctant to go back.

If Zhu Youjian was by his side, he would definitely know it.Zhou Kui has reached the fourth level of Maslow's hierarchy of needs: respect for needs.

No matter if it is the nobles of the Ming Dynasty or those civil servant groups, they all have a special kind of arrogance.

The arrogance of honor comes from the hereditary replacement of the title, and the same rest with the country.

The arrogance of civil servants comes from the kind of nobility that is unique to cultural people.

For relatives like Zhou Kui, they are really looked down upon.It’s okay that the emperor is here, but if the emperor dies one day, what are you still?

"Master, the slave family has been waiting for you for so many days, you have to leave a spare time for the slave family tonight."

Yu Nu's words brought Zhou Kui, who was in deep thought, back to reality again, reached out to grab a handful from Yu Nu's arms, and said with a smile:

"Don't be late at night, I'll take care of you later."

The Tanggu salt field in Tianjin was built very quickly, and Xu Yingyuan directly built a cement factory in Tanggu for the construction of salt ponds.Salt pools appeared by the sea at an incredible speed.More and more salt was produced from the saltworks and transported to the capital by train.Then it is transported from the capital to the surrounding prefectures and counties.

Drying salt is a tiring job, but fortunately Zhu You's wages are high enough, and nearly 2000 people have been recruited from the surrounding area.And there are more and more trends.

The price of the Zhongyan store is low, the quality of the salt is not bad, and the most important thing is that it has enough scales.Soon he gained a foothold in Beizhili.Before Zhou Kui came back, Zhu Youjian had already planned the next step of the saltworks construction plan.

Liaoning Gaizhou, Taiwan Bamboo Cutting.

The Tanggu Salt Field is slowly getting on the right track.Instead, Xu Yingyuan can be transferred to Gaizhou.

But the candidate to go to Taiwan has not yet been selected.

the first day of april

Zhou Kui is back.

After he entered Beijing, he didn't bother to go home, and was directly called into the palace by Zhu Youjian.

"Is the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River okay?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, very good."

"I see, otherwise you wouldn't be reluctant to go back to Beijing." Zhu Youjian teased. "I heard that Xiao Quan was giving away gardens and beauties, didn't you get carried away?"

"I dare not. I am planning to dedicate the garden and the beauties to His Majesty."

Fuck your uncle, give me the one you used yourself?

"Keep it for yourself. They are willing to spend money on you, because they can see the value of you. But you have to use your brain more, don't let them lead you by the nose."

"Your Majesty knows. You must follow His Majesty's instruction and do your part well."

"Well, it's good to know. Now that you have entered the palace, let's go to the queen to have a look."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Kui thanked him, seemingly hesitant to speak.

"Anything else?"

"No, the minister will leave."

After finishing speaking, he backed out and came to Kunning Palace where the queen was.

"Father, when did you come back?" Zhou Yufeng asked Zhu Cihong in surprise when he saw Zhou Kui who hadn't seen him for nearly two months.

"As soon as I arrived in the capital, I was summoned by His Majesty."

Facing his daughter, Zhou Kui relaxed a lot, and looked at his daughter with a smile on his face.

"Well, there is something, can you see if you can talk to His Majesty?"

Zhou Yufeng became vigilant when he heard the words, frowned and asked:

"What's the matter? Your Majesty hates us asking about court affairs."

She knows what kind of virtue her father has.As long as he opens his mouth, nothing good will happen.

"Look at you, why are you in a hurry. You should listen to me. This time is different from the past."

Seeing that his daughter was still looking at him quietly, Master Zhou Kui no longer kept the joke, and expressed his thoughts.

"Didn't His Majesty ask me to go to Yangzhou to discuss salt sales as a representative of China Salt Monopoly? On the way back, I kept thinking. Can you tell Your Majesty that I will be in charge of the salt field in Liaoning. Hey, hey, Don't worry! I will really do a good job this time, and I will never tarnish your face."

Seeing his daughter staring and about to get angry, Zhou Kui hastily assured her.This queen has been a long time, and she is quite majestic.

"I won't tell you whether you want to do it or not. Long Live has his own arrangements, and I, a woman, meddle in His Majesty's plan. Father, you are really not afraid of your daughter falling out of favor!"

"Then are you willing to watch your father live like this?"

"What are you dissatisfied with? The current life is not much better than the fortune-telling back then? In the past few years, you have spent a lot of money under the banner of the royal family, right? It's not that Long Live ransacked your house for my sake! Want to play His Majesty's idea?"

"What do you mean by seeking His Majesty's idea? As I said, I just want to do some errand. Besides, it's not that I don't intend to do a good job."

"Don't talk about it, I won't care about it anyway."

"Yufeng, you pity your father. I just want to find a real businessman to do it."

Zhou Yufeng turned his face away and said nothing.

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Zhou Kui was decisive.Sighing in disappointment, he left Kunning Palace in disappointment.

After Zhou Kui left, Zhou Yufeng was in a bad mood.

Although she knew she couldn't help him, but after all, he was her father.

At dinner, Zhu Youjian saw some clues.

"What did the king tell you today?"

"Huh? No, I didn't say anything."

"Tell me, what's going on. I don't know if I can't hide it? It's all written on my face."

Zhu Youjian was a little unhappy.

"My father said, I want my concubine to tell you and give him the errand of the Liaoning Saltworks."

Zhou Yufeng didn't dare to hide any more, and told what happened today.

"no!"
