understood!
Gongsun Wuji looked at each other with several other family heads. They were all old foxes and smart people.
Zhou Zhenwen said this, they still didn't understand what the other party meant.
Where do you want to buy white-glazed blue and white porcelain?
This is clearly saying that if you want to do something, you must first find this blue and white porcelain!
Take your things and come over to do this...
"Don't worry, Master Zhou. We are very familiar with Qingzhou City. As long as the white-glazed blue and white porcelain is in Qingzhou City, we will definitely be able to find it!" the head of the Tang family said proactively.
"It's natural. You are all well-known figures in Qingzhou and leaders of the Qingzhou clan. White-glazed blue and white porcelain is a specialty of Qingzhou, so how can you not find it?" Zhou Zhenwen said with a smile, put down the tea cup, and said: "Then I'll bother you all."
"Master Zhou, let's take our leave first." Gongsun Wuji stood up and bowed.
"Leaving now?"
Zhou Zhenwen also stood up: "Let's talk some more! Why leave in a hurry? Let's have a meal together later!"
"No, no, we still have things to deal with, so I won't bother you anymore." Gongsun Wuji said with a smile.
"Yes, we do have some things to deal with at home, I'm really sorry!"
"I'm too busy. I'll definitely treat Mr. Zhou to dinner next time."
"Lord Zhou, we can just stay here and do what we want. There is no need to send him off."
Several family heads were also extremely polite.
"Okay, then I won't send it away. Zhou still has some things to deal with!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded and watched the others go away.
After the family heads left the Zhou Mansion, they came to an elegant room in a restaurant.
"Everyone should understand what Zhou Zhenwen means, right?" Gongsun Wuji looked at the other family heads, took a sip of tea, and said slowly.
"You're still too old! This Zhou Zhenwen is really as cunning as a fox, and he speaks impeccably. He appears to be serious on the surface, but in fact, he is very bad!" The head of the Shangguan family sighed.
"Who doesn't understand what he means?" The head of the Tang family shook his head, "If you don't help him get this white-glazed blue and white porcelain, he will just sit back and watch."
"But think about it on the other hand, if we can get the white-glazed blue and white porcelain, he will help us. At least he won't say anything, and there is still room for maneuver." The head of the Xu family said softly.
"Yes, let's look for it. We'll find this white-glazed blue and white porcelain first!" Gongsun Wuji felt that since Zhou Zhenwen's request was made, as long as they could complete it, the other party would definitely give it face, and both sides would just get what they needed.
This is better. If Zhou Zhenwen didn't accept the money, they really wouldn't dare to do this kind of thing. After all, Qingzhou now is no better than before.
In the original Qingzhou, the governor of Qingzhou, Chen Jia, and the prefects of various counties were all local emperors.
The aristocratic family and the power of the Qingzhou government almost dominate the world with one hand.
But now?
Zhou Zhenwen and the eldest princess Huaizhen arrived.
One is an imperial envoy and the other is Her Royal Highness the Princess. They come with the emperor's orders. Who dares to mess around?
More importantly, Zhang Qi, the governor of Qingzhou, had just rebelled and caused a shortage of grain reserves. Qingzhou had just suffered a shakeup. If something happens to these two people now, what awaits the Qingzhou family and Qingzhou officials will definitely be an army to suppress the rebellion.
Whoever dares to touch the imperial censor is touching the face of the imperial court! !
The investigation carried out by the imperial envoy still needs to collect evidence. If the rebellion is to be suppressed, all we need is the coordinates!
The head of the Liu family said: "I also agree to find this white-glazed blue and white porcelain first. Since Zhou Zhenwen has made the request, it means that the matter is not difficult to handle. Besides, taking advantage of Zhou Zhenwen's line may not be a problem for us. bad thing."
"After all, we have actually broken with other aristocratic families. Once the matter is exposed, Zhou Zhenwen will be fine, and we will probably become the target of public criticism. Instead of doing this, it is better to take this opportunity to join forces with Zhou Zhenwen to annex other aristocratic families in one fell swoop and strengthen ourselves! "
"Isn't it money that Zhou Zhenwen needs?"
"If he wants to control Qingzhou, he needs our power. It's not up to us to have the final say here. Wouldn't it be better to give him some face and let him help us take a further step?"
"We have no grudge against him. This cooperation is also a good thing for mutual benefit. With Zhou Zhenwen protecting us in the capital, our business in Qingzhou will last longer, right?"
Hearing what the head of the Liu family said, everyone nodded in agreement.
"One more thing, I want to remind everyone that Zhou Zhenwen still has things related to Zhang Qi's case. We have a tacit understanding about Zhang Qi's affairs. If he offends him, he wants to deal with us, which is not what he imagined. It's so difficult, and the governor Chen Jia still needs to worry about Qingzhou's economy and people's livelihood, but Zhou Zhenwen doesn't need to, he just patted his ass and left, and the rest of the mess can be left to Chen Jia at will."
"From what happened this time, it is not difficult to see that Zhou Zhenwen doesn't care about Qingzhou's economy at all. As long as he can deal with the locusts and make money, he only cares about the life and death of the people. Anyone who blocks him from getting rich will die. He is It's impossible to deal with all the clans, he can't, but he can still deal with one or two, killing the chicken to scare the monkeys!"
Gongsun Wuji sighed: "There is no need to offend him. If he wants money, give him money. If he wants face, give him face. He just wants to control the locusts and make some money. Just give it to him. When he leaves, are you afraid that you won’t be able to earn back the money?”
"No matter how many years the dynasties come and go, doesn't it still depend on us aristocratic families in the end?"
"What the head of the Gongsun family said is absolutely true!" the head of the Tang family said quickly.
"Okay, let's get going and send someone to look for it in Qingzhou City!" Gongsun Wuji said softly.
Everyone nodded, stood up and left.
After everyone left, in the private room next door, Xiao Si was pouring tea for Zhou Zhenwen.
"My lord, please have some tea."
Zhou Zhenwen nodded slightly: "Xiao Si, do you think the Celadon Project will go smoothly?"
"How could the master's plan to stay fail?" Xiao Si showed a confident smile and whispered.
"Yes, everything is under his control, and the reactions of these aristocratic families are all reasonable!" Zhou Zhenwen sighed.
"Since they have signed the documents, they are tied to us. Since they are our own people, how can they be duplicitous?" A sneer appeared at the corner of Xiao Si's lips, "Since they have chosen to betray other aristocratic families, they have to bear the price of betrayal. , if they are really stubborn, then the only option is to go under the knife!!"
"It's better not to get too intense. At this time, stability is the priority, and these people are still needed." Zhou Zhenwen took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"By the way, antique shop, where did you open it?"
Hearing this, Xiaosi responded: "The most prosperous area is in the east of the city."
"The rent there is not cheap!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded, "What's the name of the store?"
"Heaven and earth!" Xiao Si replied.
"Vulgar, vulgar is unbearable!" Zhou Zhenwen shook his head, with a smile on his lips.
"Hehe, I am a commoner, and so are those heads of aristocratic families?" Xiaosi said with a smile.
"Not bad!" Zhou Zhenwen nodded, "I don't know when he will come back."
Xiaosi's smile faded: "Master should be here soon..."
