Film and TV starts with acquiring a memory palace

Zhao Zongquan knew what Gu Tingyu had done at the first moment. After all, he was in Bian Jing, so he had the ability to do so.

After hearing what his personal eunuch reported, Zhao Zongquan looked thoughtful.

"Prince, what do you think of Ningyuan Hou's move?"

"Father, I think this is a good idea. I have also learned about the situation of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion before. It is indeed much richer."

Prince Huan Zhao Yingce had been studying beside Zhao Zongquan. After hearing his words, he immediately spoke.

"Well, that's right, Prince. It's very good that you can understand the situation from many aspects. What do you think?"

"Father, I think we can send some people to participate in this, which can improve the situation of the Royal Treasury."

Prince Huan Zhao Yingce immediately put forward his opinion. This was also for his own benefit. After all, the Neiku represented the emperor's private wallet, so he would not be too nervous when he succeeded to the throne.

"Well, don't worry. Shipping is a very important matter. Let's wait and see until they succeed once."

After hearing what Zhao Zongquan said, Prince Huan Zhao Yingce was somewhat dissatisfied, and Zhao Zongquan also noticed it.

"Prince, sitting in this position does not require risk, but stability. If it succeeds once, our participation will not affect anything."

"Yes, I understand."

It's not that Prince Huan Zhao Yingce knew nothing, he just trusted Gu Tingyu more. After hearing what Zhao Zongquan said, Prince Huan Zhao Yingce also understood.

If I ascend the throne and become emperor at that time, I will need to consider such things more. This is not because of distrust or cowardice, but because I don’t want to take risks.

Zhao Zongquan looked at Prince Huan Zhao Yingce and realized that he really understood and was not fooling him, so he nodded with satisfaction.

This is also the purpose of Zhao Zongquan keeping Prince Huan Zhao Yingce by his side. After all, he was an unexpected situation, and Prince Huan Zhao Yingce had not been exposed to court affairs since he was a child. The more exposure he has now, the more likely he is to avoid making mistakes in the future.

After Gu Tingyu confirmed the quota for the sea shipping, he sent a message to Fuso and asked Cui Hao to be prepared.

He also told Cui Hao about the situation on his side and asked him to be responsible for the affairs of Iwami Silver Mine.

Two months passed like this.

Those who had participated previously had already prepared the large ship and accompanying personnel, and everyone gathered at the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

When Gu Tingyu came out after changing his clothes, everyone had been waiting for a while.

"Everyone, I'm very sorry to have wasted your time."

"Haha, Ning Yuan Hou, you are joking. We all just came early. There is no need to take it so seriously."

"Yes, Duke Qi is right, Marquis Ningyuan, don't mind it."

"..."

After exchanging polite words with everyone, Gu Tingyu sat down in his seat.

After understanding the situation of each family, Gu Tingyu did not hesitate and directly announced that everyone should gather in Mingzhou, cross the sea to Fuso, and then set sail to make a lot of money.

When everyone heard Gu Tingyu's words, their eyes sparkled. Although these people were extremely powerful and had high status, their expenses were also high.

The little that he dug out from the fields was no longer enough to cover the expenses of his home.

Those who know how to run a business can still save a little every year, but a large part of them have to borrow money from businessmen every year to get by.

Now that there is a way to make a fortune right in front of me, how can I not be happy?

After talking about the business, Gu Tingyu arranged for the servants to serve the food, and the banquet officially began.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone was picked up by their families one after another, and Gu Tingyu was a little drunk.

There was no other way. No matter how healthy he was, he couldn't withstand all the drinking. Shao Xueyan returned to her room and helped him go to bed.

Zhao Zongquan also received the news that everyone had started to take action, and an expression of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

In his heart, he actually knew that there should be no problem with this matter, but he was still cautious. After all, the emperor could not make mistakes. This was the reason.

 …

Of course, these bigwigs don’t have to worry about overseas trade themselves, as their subordinates will arrange it for them.

Gu Tingyu had nothing to do for the time being, and all he had to do was get up early and attend court every day.

Because he was a military officer, Gu Tingyu had no control over the trivial matters in the court.

However, I did hear about the money shortage. Since the reform began, it was implemented from Bian Jing, and now it has basically covered a large part of the Song Dynasty.

So during this period of time, Zhao Zongquan and several of his husbands all had smiles on their faces.

They were happy, but someone didn't want them to be so happy.

That day, during the morning court session.

Gu Tingyu was listening to several ministers talking about related matters in a daze, feeling a little distressed that this morning court session was too early.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from outside the hall.

"Report, urgent battle report from the 800-mile border."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was no movement in the court, and all the military officers became alert.

This is a war, and the military officers of the Song Dynasty have a hard time. They have been suppressed to begin with, and coupled with the heavy atmosphere of appeasement in the Song Dynasty, the military officers have no place to play their role.

Now that we've heard the urgent news from the border, this is where our skills will come in handy.

Zhao Zongquan was shocked by the news for a while, and quickly sat on the dragon chair and spoke loudly.

"Quick, get him up here."

"Your Majesty, urgent news from the border: Liao has invaded the border, and the border troops request support."

The disheveled messenger knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, with his head lowered and the memorial held high in his hands.

The personal eunuch also walked over quickly, took the memorial, and ran out to hand it to Zhao Zongquan.

"Someone, take him down to have a good rest."

After saying this, Zhao Zongquan opened the memorial with a grim face.

"Bang! The Liao Kingdom is rampant and bullying people too much."

After reading the memorial, Zhao Zongquan slammed it on the table and spoke loudly angrily.

Seeing Zhao Zongquan so angry, all the ministers below became quiet.

I was worried that if I said something wrong, I might end up in trouble.

After Zhao Zongquan vented his anger, he looked at the civil servants who were pretending to be cowards and the military officers who were eager to make moves, and Zhao Zongquan became even angrier.

"Okay, let's adjourn the court. The ministers, Duke Yingguo, Duke Chengguo, Marquis Ningyuan and others, please come to the imperial study."

After saying this, Zhao Zongquan left, and only then did the ministers breathe a sigh of relief.

"What's going on? Don't we have an agreement with Liao? How could we violate the border? Did the border troops do something?"

"What if a fight breaks out? It will cause great suffering to all."

The Duke of Yingguo, the Duke of Chengguo, and Gu Tingyu were very angry when they heard that many civil servants around them looked dejected.

"The Liao Kingdom invaded my border, and you actually thought it was because of my border troops. Are you officials of the Song Dynasty or officials of the Liao Kingdom?"

Hearing this, the people who had spoken just now glared over angrily, but when they saw Gu Tingyu and the others, they were so scared that they ran away.
