"I have not made much money, but I also know that the court has not allocated silver for six years, which can maintain the current elite of Zhennan Army. Your Highness has emptied all his own. I admire him so much that I can't say anything. Then I will give 10% of the pure profit to the Ning Prince's Mansion. How about it?"

King Ning looked up and down at Zhou Ze. His white robe was so neat and he had such a sincere smile on his face, but what he said was really choking.

"All the workshops in Tangmen are not just Longjing tea or a certain workshop."

Zhou Ze nodded.

“This is natural.”

"There are black fire bombs."

Zhou Ze looked surprised and looked at King Ning with a puzzled look, as if he was insulted.

"Your Highness, when I was making the black fire bomb, I provided it for free, and all the expenses were paid out of my own pocket. That was the pension given by the court after my family was killed.

After all, Wang Shier's workshop cannot bear the losses. This is not something that parents can do. Besides, the black fire bomb is the Wang family's property and has nothing to do with the ministers!"

King Ning waved his hand and knew that he could not get any advantage, so he stood up.

"Next time, prepare some Longjing tea for the palace, so as not to use large and exquisite amounts. I want to give it to my father and a few royal brothers."

Zhou Ze knew that this was an open provocation.

"I will definitely prepare it, can there be female relatives?"

Ning Wang paused, grabbed the box on the table, smashed Zhou Ze's arm, and said with gritted teeth:

"Don't try to get these things in mind. If you send them such things, you don't have to compete for the position of crown prince."

Zhou Ze bowed to King Ning with a serious face.

"Your Highness misunderstood me. Giving gifts is about caring. Your Highness also thinks that gifts are light and affectionate, otherwise why choose Longjing tea? Don't worry, I won't prepare such things and then send them to the Ning Palace to let Your Highness make a decision after seeing them."

King Ning nodded and walked outside the pavilion of the water pavilion.

"Okay, then I won't keep you anymore. Remember to send the money on a monthly basis."

Zhou Ze bowed and Wang Ning left alone, holding the box behind his back, Liu Cheng walked towards Zhou Ze.

"Zhou Changshi, please send you out!"

Old Xu was stunned when he heard this.

Zhou Zeke said before that there is food here, but why do you have to leave now? It’s very cool when you enter the door. Isn’t it a bit terrible?

"Don't you want to have a meal?"

Zhou Ze quickly blinked at this guy, it was embarrassing, it was so embarrassing, I was thinking about eating, could I have some success?

"There are still important things, let's take a step first."

Liu Cheng waved his hand to the back, and a few little maids walked quickly, holding various food boxes in their hands, and Old Xu stopped making trouble.

"this"

Liu Cheng smiled at Zhou Ze. He didn't smile all year round. Such actions made people look like cramps and faces.

"This is what Your Highness ordered. He guessed that you might not go to the banquet, so he asked his subordinates to prepare food and bring it with you, and also gave him a sentence."

Zhou Ze cursed in his heart, "Damn I'm being tricked again!"

This guy has already thought about both preparations, and this makes him seem very good at planning and making mistakes.

"I hope to hear the details."

Liu Cheng coughed and said, imitating King Ning:

"Don't let me down. You can do whatever you want in Jingzhou City, but you have to make more money. I'm waiting for your money to enrich the inner treasury."

Zhou Ze's cheeks shook.

Bah, shameless!

"I obey the order."

Liu Cheng didn't say anything nonsense, bowed to Zhou Ze, and then led the two of them toward the main door.

At this time, there were still people coming one after another, and Zhou Ze did not let Liu Cheng send it out. After all, it was too ostentatious. Just the one he came in today, I wonder if the demon hunting department and other figures could hear the news. He had not yet realized that he had come out to block the gun.

Old Xu was carrying six food boxes, and as soon as he came out, the Three Treasures were already not far away, and quickly helped him carry two. They turned to the east and walked to the back door of the Hejiang Chamber of Commerce.

When they came straight upstairs, A Zheng and Xiaobai had already been waiting here, and Xiaobai looked puzzled.

"Why are you back so soon? Is things changing?"

Zhou Ze shook his head and briefly explained the matter.

A Zheng was the first to breathe a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face was a little unrestrained.

"We have the final say for how much to give. All the servants have various inputs, and even veterans can't see it. Don't worry about this young master. Don't worry about the accounts, you must not miss it.

What I am worried about now is that the poetry meeting held by Wenxiang Pavilion tonight was afraid that it would be a failure, so several courtesans decided to participate, and they also practiced the lyrics and music given by the young master.

However, the three of them performed separately, which seemed a bit lacking in momentum, especially when I watched the songs and dances they prepared yesterday, it was only ordinary, and there was something refreshing to the eye."

As Lao Xu listened to their words, he had already arranged his food. Xiaobai was the first to sit down and bared his teeth at Lao Xu.

Old Xu looked innocent and looked at Xiaobai.

"Didn't you eat it?"

Xiaobai snorted, pulled Zhou Ze to his side, placed bowls and chopsticks for him, and pushed A Zheng to sit down.

"Don't worry about us, Zhou Ze didn't eat. You eat openly, and you're gone!"

Lao Xu didn't say much, and started eating very politely. Xiaobai gave Zhou Ze a dish and muttered while not setting up:

"You guys are so troublesome. Why don't you and Lao Xu go around at night and take Xiao Hei, all the wealthy families in Jingzhou City, clean up the amount of money they saved. Why bother like this?"

Zhou Ze looked at Xiaobai, he knew that Xiaobai was caring for him.

"The silver must be upright and open. Although we do not lack silver, these silver cannot be shy. If we can control the economy of the southern border, why not do it? Besides, this is just the first step. If we open up the situation, it will be much easier for A Zheng and the others to do anything.

Moreover, in the entire Tang Dynasty, if it were not for the tension between the situation from the Western Zhou Dynasty and the army was approaching, military funds could not be distributed on time. In the past few years, King Ning has also emptied himself. He needs to recover his blood now. I can help him recover his blood. Wouldn't it be more important in his heart?"

A Zheng suddenly felt that the burden on her body was a little heavier.

You should know that she is not in the county government office very much, and she is also a vague existence in front of Zhou Ze. At this moment, she suddenly feels that Zhou Ze values ​​her very much and trusts her very much.

A Zheng raised her eyes and stared at Zhou Ze, controlling the turmoil in her heart. If Xiaobai was not here, I wonder if she would do something.

Old Xu raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Ze.

"It is not that easy to fight for the crown prince. The crown prince Li Bi has been supervising the country for two years. Although the queen has passed away for many years, his position is still stable. The legitimate prince has been the crown prince for more than ten years, with a deep foundation and many ministers supported.

The second prince Li Yu had outstanding literary talent. When he was 19 years old, he concealed his name and won the top scorer. In the hearts of scholars, his status was quite high, and he also won over 100 bachelors, edited "The Justice of the Five Classics", "The Sutra of the Authentic Collection", "The Yuangui of the Cefu", etc.

Although the Fourth Prince was mediocre, he also had a skill and was very interested in the art of mechanisms. He was responsible for the renovation of some palaces in the palace.

The fifth and sixth princes are all studying at this moment, and their mothers are in the Dongyi and the other are in the northwest, and they are not weak either.

As for the most favored seventh prince, although he was only five or six years old, his mother was Concubine Liu, and he had been in charge of the harem for several years. His grandfather was the emperor's imperial teacher and the eldest son was the prince's tutor. Although they were all dead, who can compare with this friendship? Even the prince must give him three points of face."

Zhou Ze paused and looked up at Lao Xu.

"Have your memory recovered?"

Lao Xu nodded and put a piece of meat into his mouth. His movements were quite elegant, but he ate very quickly.

"I remembered it all."

Zhou Ze sighed, it seems that the matter of 500 taels of silver cannot be mentioned in the future.

In order to relieve his embarrassment, Zhou Ze glanced at Xiaobai and asked with some concern on his face:

"What does this Concubine Liu have to do with the Liu family we met?"

Xiaobai shook his head.

"I asked Lao Xu at that time, and he didn't know whose ancestral home we met was. However, the Liu family of Concubine Liu was the Liu family in Luoyang, and a very famous big family, and it should not be the same family."

Lao Xu nodded.

"The place where the Liu family you mentioned was located was a small country two hundred years ago, and was later annexed by the Tang Dynasty. In terms of time, it would not be to pray for blessings in the Tang Dynasty, but just to protect the rise and fall of the family."

Zhou Ze exhaled, after all, what Liu Zui had experienced had a profound impact on him.

"I don't want this anymore. Let's talk about the poetry club first. What is the influence of the courtesan you are looking for?"

A Zheng paused and thought about Zhou Ze's vocabulary.

"The influence of the young master asked is whether there are many literati and poets who pursue them?"

Zhou Ze nodded, and A Zheng continued.

"As a New Year, Jingzhou City held a courtesan competition. The three courtesans I found were the three winners who won the competition. They used some methods to force the madam to participate in this poetry meeting. Ten days ago, they posted notices everywhere in the city, and they should know.

However, most of these three people are selves, but they are not selling their own works. Our underwear has not been displayed yet, so I found some girls who are not selves.

Now, I just don’t know when to display it at the poetry meeting? How to display it? I also ask the young master to give advice. After all, although literati like this tone, they are self-reliant and noble."

Zhou Ze smiled.

"Where are the people? When I meet, I ask them to bring their clothes with me. As for the finale you mentioned, I think I know how to choose, your pipa is still there, right?"
