After Pan Renmei finished speaking, she was still very confident.
Now that Master Pang has fallen, Cao Bin is isolated and helpless in the court.
Regardless of their original factions or Cao Bin's current situation, he is the most suitable backer.
Pan Renmei has long been very coveted for the property in Cao Bin's hands.
In addition, Cao Bin also accumulated some political resources, such as the Song Dynasty Daily, which was also very coveted.
It would be very good for me to win him over.
Under such circumstances, he did not believe that Cao Bin would refuse to win over him.
When Pan Renmei was waiting for Cao Bin's answer, his entourage suddenly reported outside the carriage door:
"My lord, there are noble people in the palace who want to see Uncle Cao."
Pan Renmei was stunned, glanced at Cao Bin doubtfully, and ordered:
"Let him come."
The middle-aged eunuch bowed first, brought a gift box over and said:
"Uncle Cao, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng king given to you by the government. Please check it out."
Hearing this, Pan Renmei was shocked. Thousand-year-old Ginseng King was already classified as a treasure and was called fairy grass.
The emperor may not necessarily have a second one in his inner treasury, but it is reserved for hanging.
Normally, the emperor would be reluctant to give it to an important minister like himself.
Unexpectedly, he gave it directly to Cao Bin. This is too exaggerated!
Mad, why do you feel a little jealous in your heart?
As the emperor's father-in-law, I don't get this kind of treatment.
The eunuch handed the ginseng to Cao Bin and said with a smile:
"The official has sent a villain as the envoy of the fragrance workshop to help uncle expand the perfume and soap business."
"Besides, the officials have already ordered the villain to listen to my uncle's advice on everything."
As he spoke, he looked at Pan Renmei again, cupped his hands and said:
"Zheng Guogong, please take good care of this royal business from now on."
When Pan Renmei heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but look at Cao Bin resentfully.
He didn't expect Cao Bin to act so quickly, and in the blink of an eye he was already cooperating with the emperor. In this way, his plan was useless.
It is said that there are no fathers and sons in the battlefield, and there are no brothers in the money field.
If the emperor knew that he was interested in his business, why wouldn't he give him some shoes to wear?
So he could only awkwardly raise his hands and say:
"Zhang Gongfeng is polite, that's what you should do. It's what you should do."
"If you have any trouble in the future, just come to me."
The eunuch Zhang immediately smiled happily and thanked:
"That way, I'll leave you to worry about it."
Cao Bin glanced at Pan Renmei and smiled:
"Zheng Guogong, I want to arrange a business plan for Zhang Gongfeng, so I will leave first."
"Besides, for the task of training soldiers, the officials have already arranged a place for the subordinates, so there is no need to trouble Duke Zheng."
After saying that, Cao Bin jumped off Pan Renmei's carriage, got on his horse, and left with his subordinates.
Pan Renmei opened her mouth and looked at Cao Bin's back, feeling a little surprised.
He did not expect that Cao Bin, as his son-in-law, would not be affected at all by the fall of Grand Master Pang, but seemed to be even more valued by the emperor.
"This guy is quite a talent."
Thinking of this, he wanted to win Cao Bin over to his side.
Five or six days have passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Cao Bin took Pang Yanyan to the south gate of Bianjing early to wait for Du Shiniang and others.
The servants have already given the news that they will return to Beijing in the afternoon.
It stands to reason that as the mistress of the Zhongjing Hou Mansion, Pang Yanyan does not have to come out to greet several concubines.
But Cao Bin came to pick her up in person, so she didn't have to adhere to these etiquettes.
And she didn't want to leave a cold and harsh impression on other female relatives, so as not to be isolated.
At this time, she and Cao Bin were sitting in the pavilion, watching Cao Bin enjoying tea leisurely, and said nervously:
"Brother Juncai, are those sisters easy to get along with?"
Cao Bin smiled and said: "You are the mistress of the house. Don't call them by age, call them sister..."
If you want your backyard to be stable, you have to follow the rules.
Although he believed that the women would not cause any trouble, he did not think that he could smooth out the women's nature with his own charm.
He also didn't want to erase their character.
I don't know how long it took, but a team of more than a hundred people came from the official road guarding several carriages.
Before the team could reach the post pavilion, Du Shiniang and others had already jumped off the carriage and walked quickly towards the post pavilion.
Cao Bin stepped forward and hugged Du Shiniang, nervously saying:
"Be careful, you still have Cao family flesh and blood in your belly."
Pang Yanyan followed Cao Bin, and when she heard this, there was a little envy in her eyes.
"Come, let's meet our eldest lady first!"
When the women heard this, they were not surprised and hurriedly came forward and bowed to say blessings.
At this time, Pang Yanyan immediately became dignified, her face was slightly serious, and she looked gentle and approachable. She had become very popular.
When Cao Bin saw this, he looked at her in surprise and felt relieved.
Although Taishi Pang was a treacherous minister, he was also from a scholarly family and had been an official for generations. His education in this area was still very good.
In this way, he wouldn't worry about Pang Yanyan being unable to control the situation and causing chaos in the backyard.
Later, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, Shi Qian and others also came forward to worship.
Also returning with them was Feng Yihan, the number one master under Master Pang.
Now that Taishi Pang's family has been pardoned by the emperor, he is not afraid of trouble from the Kaifeng Mansion and has settled the score.
According to Master Pang, although this person does not have the means to fight on the battlefield, he is still one of the top masters in the world.
Even Zhan Zhao was defeated by him.
If Zhan Zhao and the three heroes of the Ding family hadn't worked together to ambush him last time, they might not have been able to hurt him.
Moreover, he also trained many good players for Grand Master Pang, most of whom are now working under Cao Bin.
The most rare thing is that this man is loyal and an extremely competent killer.
After receiving his family, Cao Bin was about to return to the Hou Mansion when he saw Kou Zhun coming forward surrounded by a group of officials.
"Cao Bin, I want to have a few words with you. Come into the post with me."
Cao Bin smiled and cupped his hands and said:
"It turns out it's Mr. Kou. Are you going to Xiangzhou to take up a post?"
"Where can Master Kou be transferred? He went to Xiangzhou instead."
"Cao just cleaned up Xiangzhou and gave you a big advantage."
"How are you going to thank me, Master Kou?"
Kou Zhun said coldly:
"Without you Cao Bin, I would have eliminated the traitors and purged the court."
"Do you think that by operating in Xiangzhou for a long time, you can embarrass me?"
"Your old subordinates better be clean, otherwise I will have to clean up Xiangzhou again."
Cao Bin said indifferently:
"Cao runs Xiangzhou for the sake of the people and the court, not for myself?"
"You love to clean but don't clean up."
"It's just that I want to tell Lord Kou that the annual salary in Xiangzhou is at least one million yuan."
"If you are self-righteous and ruin my business in Xiangzhou, you will become a sinner of the imperial court."
Before Kou Zhun could say anything, the farewell official laughed and said:
"Why does Uncle Zhongjing need to boast? Bianliang's annual endowment is only 400,000 yuan..."
"Do you think you are Guan Zhong or Xiao Hecheng? You are too arrogant!"
It is said that the Song Dynasty used the power of the world to support the city of Bianjing. The prosperity of Tokyo has never been matched by other state capitals.
No one would believe that Cao Bin's casual management could make Xiangzhou's tax revenue exceed that of Bianjing and double it.
At this time of change, what if he really had such means? Not soaring into the sky?
However, Bao Zheng glanced at Cao Bin in surprise, said nothing, and instead began to think secretly.
He felt that Cao Bin was not a person who told nonsense, and he had seen the situation in Xiangzhou with his own eyes...
