Du Biao was very enthusiastic, his eyes sparkling when he looked at Liu Zheng.
If Du Biao had previously been disapproving of this rising star who had become so famous, in the past few days in Liangzhou City, he had seen the energy of this young man.
Sponsored with 100,000 silver, every corner of the entire Liangzhou City is the trademark of the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce... These days, everyone who comes to Liangzhou has basically been brainwashed. When buying something, the first thought that pops up is, does the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce sell it?
Even this morning, when Du Biao was having breakfast, he looked at the chair legs with the trademark on them and wondered, does the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce have a place to sell breakfast?
This is true for him, let alone others?
Du Biao's position in the Baiya Army is mainly responsible for business operations. Therefore, these operations of Liu Zheng made him admire and admire him very much. Unexpectedly, Liangzhou would produce such a great talent. If this person encounters a storm, he will transform into a dragon and turn the rain and clouds!
Therefore, when he heard that the Liu family and his son were at the banquet last night, Du Biao finally couldn't help it and directly explained his purpose.
He felt that it would be sincerity to simply be honest!
Liu Zheng was slightly startled. He naturally knew what Du Biao was thinking. Du Biao had already explained his intention. They, the White Cliff Army, were from the Queen's side! This kind of olive branch is even more direct than Chen Ping's yesterday!
Zheng Yueru was also at this time.
Seeing Du Biao's attitude at this time, she understood everything instantly! She has a high IQ and is very familiar with the situation in Liangzhou City. At this time, Du Biao's appearance seemed to confirm one thing... the assassin who assassinated them on the road was most likely led by the man in front of him!
Suddenly, a flash of sadness and deep disappointment flashed through her heart. It turned out that she had always thought that her mother was kind and righteous, but all of this was an illusion! In order to fight for power, she did not hesitate to have people attack her own family...
Liu Zheng took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Liu Zheng, the third leader of the family, is a merchant and has no official status. I'm afraid there is something wrong with this..."
Under the current circumstances, he could only refuse.
Because at this time, Chen Ping and his party, who were not far away, had also arrived at the city gate, intending to greet the Queen. Especially Chen Ruoshi's eyes, which were staring at him and Zheng Yueru fiercely. Liu Zheng didn't want to offend anyone this time. If possible, he just wanted to make ends meet and return to his Yinzhou safely.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Du Biao's eyes, and he immediately burst out laughing. He held his arms with Liu Zheng and said, "That's right, it's Du Biao who has made the waves. In this case, Du Biao won't bother you anymore. I hope that the two chambers of commerce can have more contacts in the future." !”
Liu Zheng smiled and said: "This is natural!"
Du Biao laughed and left. At this time, the entire city gate was already crowded with people, sweating like rain. Under the martial law of Liangzhou soldiers, the roads were cleared and the people could only wait on the roadside. Royal majesty and extremely high standards. Chen Ping, the prefect of Liangzhou, had already been waiting on the road with the thirty prefectures and county princes of Liangzhou, as well as the civil and military officials of Liangzhou Prefecture. Today happened to be a change from the hazy weather of the past few days. The sun was shining brightly and there was no biting cold wind, making the scene even more lively.
This is the current empress. Although she was married from Liangzhou, who has really seen her several times?
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, a horse galloped in the distance, and the people on the horse shouted: "The empress is a virtuous queen. She returns home to visit her relatives. Her kindness is clear, and she will prosper forever!"
Chen Ping quickly came forward with hundreds of officials, kowtowing and waiting: "With great kindness and kindness, the world will be prosperous and prosperous!"
In the distance, the empress's guard of honor has arrived. There are three pairs of royal flags, two umbrellas, six lieutenants, honor guards, and thousands of guards.
The people also knelt down one after another, and many even couldn't help but burst into tears. In recent years, a queen was born in Liangzhou, which made the people of Liangzhou proud and received many favorable policies from the court. Countless people were naturally grateful to the Queen and praised her for her virtues.
"Mercy and kindness are manifest, and the age of prosperity will last forever!"
"The queen empress, my mother graces the world!"
The common people chanted these two sentences like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
Liu Zheng and Zheng Yueru also knelt down and worshiped, but it was obvious that Zheng Yueru, who had suddenly figured out the assassination just now, was no longer as excited as before, looking forward to the queen's return home.
It took a lot of effort for a team of several thousand people to move slowly, but Chen Ping kept kneeling and did not dare to get up.
At this time, a eunuch came over and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Queen is a virtuous person, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. It's not advisable to kneel for a long time. Everyone, please get up!"
The people in the whole city shouted that the queen would live a thousand years before they all stood up. Then, with all kinds of excited and curious eyes, they looked at the queen driving here. The tall and luxurious carriage finally arrived in front of the Liangzhou officials.
"Prefect Chen, please listen to the seal!"
Chen Ping was overjoyed and walked forward on his knees.
The eunuch said loudly: "Chen Ping, the prefect of Liangzhou, has always been benevolent. He is in charge of Liangzhou. The weather is smooth, the country is peaceful and the people are at home, and the treasury is prosperous! The sage is clear about rewards and punishments, and he does not neglect his meritorious officials. Today, Chen Ping, the prefect of Liangzhou, is promoted to the governor of Liangzhou. !”
Chen Ping bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, shouting for divine grace.
In fact, according to the administrative level of Liangzhou, he should have been the governor. However, due to the intense war in the north this year, the Longyan Dynasty lost a lot of face, so it has not been promoted. The queen came back today to visit her relatives, so she naturally had to take care of Chen Ping's emotions.
"Get back on your feet! I'm tired."
The queen's voice came from Fengjia.
Chen Ping said respectfully: "Best farewell to the Queen!"
"Congratulations to the Queen!"
The people shouted in unison.
Logically speaking, if the queen married into the royal family, she would no longer be a member of the Zheng family in Liangzhou, so she could only live in the queen's palace that had been prepared in Liangzhou. Then the people of the Zheng family came to the palace to worship the queen. This was the process of marriage promotion.
When the queen returns, there will naturally be many high-ranking officials and wealthy people trying their best to send gifts, so the queen's palace will definitely be very busy on this day.
"Won't Yueru go back?"
After watching all this, Liu Zheng sighed in his heart at the greatness of the queen's battle, and asked Zheng Yueru next to him.
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Liu, the Zheng family in Yinzhou is just a branch of the Zheng family in Liangzhou. In recent years, the Zheng family has spread and there are hundreds of families, big and small. Where can I have a place?"
Liu Zheng asked curiously: "Don't you have the title of Liangshang as the Empress?"
Zheng Yueru laughed at herself: "That's just a talisman for our branches."
Only then did Liu Zheng realize that Zheng Yueru's status in the Zheng family was so low. In this case, it is indeed not difficult to imagine that she was selectively sacrificed by the queen.
"Then let's prepare for the oiran party tonight?"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
With my qualifications, I can't even touch the threshold of the queen's palace.
…
This way.
After a month's journey, the queen finally arrived at the palace.
As soon as she arrived at the palace, she ordered her to go down. She was ill, not to see anyone, and to drive away the people who were queuing at the door and wanted to see the queen. Only then did she have time to take a shower, change clothes, and dress up.
"Queen, I will listen to your instructions and go look at the street trademarks you mentioned and tear off a few of them!"
At this time, a palace maid ran in with several Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce trademarks in her hands.
"Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce?"
The queen's face was expressionless: "Yinzhou, a mere unruly place, actually has such a large chamber of commerce. Does it interest the Baiya Army?"
A eunuch next to him said: "Empress, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce is not only good at building momentum and developing rapidly, I heard that this time it even spent money to prepare a program for the Queen."
"Is it?"
Queen Zheng Fu sneered and said: "I heard that the Marquis of Yinzhou County is famous far and wide. It seems that this time he wants to get a state marquis title with me. Let's see if today, the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce can give me the title of Marquis. It’s a surprise for me.”
"Queen, General Zheng's messenger has arrived!"
The queen raised her eyelids.
…
"Congratulations, Lord Governor!"
"Your Excellency, you deserve to be promoted to governor!"
This way, Liangzhou Prefecture.
As soon as Chen Ping came back, there were all kinds of congratulations.
He smiled coldly: "To me, what's the difference between being a prefect? In the current situation in Liangzhou, the most worrying thing is that the Baiya Army can't lose its tail. But I am writing to the Holy One to contain or even destroy the Baiya Army. , there has been no reply! The prince actually has nothing to do with the White Cliff Army!"
Everyone was shocked and whispered, "Master, don't let disaster come from your mouth."
Chen Ping sighed deeply.
Nowadays, when the whole Liangzhou talks about the Baiya Army, they talk about it in a sullen tone. This kind of atmosphere makes him, the governor, have no sense of existence at all. How could he feel better?
After shouting the group of thinkers away, he became very restless when he thought that the queen was not far away.
Then he called Chen Ruoshi over.
Then he looked at her with burning eyes and asked: "Ruoshi, my father is asking you, what are your thoughts on the young master of the Liu family?"
"ah?"
Chen Ruoshi's face turned red when she was asked this question. She was immediately ashamed and lowered her head in panic.
When Chen Ping saw this look, he didn't know what she was thinking. The current situation was so bad that he could only place his hopes on the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce. If the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce could be supported by him, the Baiya Chamber of Commerce would naturally be constrained. He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "In that case, my father will make the decision for you this time!"
"Ah! Father..."
…
Lantern Festival, Oiran Convention.
The queen is visiting relatives and enjoying herself with the people.
Several things came together to make everyone in Liangzhou look forward to the arrival of the night. Starting today, the "Drunken Yinzhou" provided by the Yinzhou Chamber of Commerce will be available for drinking all over the city. However, Shenxian Niang and Bai Yujing have increased their original prices by 20%! After all, Liu Zheng didn't want to lose his pants. At first, Zheng Yueru didn't understand the significance of Liu Zheng's approach. It wasn't until today that she understood what differentiated consumption is...
The "Drunken Yinzhou" was consumed very quickly, but the Immortal Brew and Bai Yujing were almost sold out by the evening! What surprised Zheng Yueru was that the loss from free drinking in Zuiyinzhou was made up for by the profits from the other two fine wines!
The entire Liangzhou City fell into a carnival.
"Are you ready?"
Liu Zheng looked at Shen Manqing and a group of oirans after dressing up today.
"Don't worry, young master, we will surely amaze everyone tonight!"
"Swear to help Sister Manqing and capture the Oiran!"
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and took a deep breath. Although he had always been confident, when it came to this moment, he was still a little nervous. If you can't attract the Queen's attention today, then all the expenses and efforts will be in vain!
"Let's go!"
Liu Zheng waved his hand, and all the girls got on the float one after another.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out and walked a few steps on the street, a suspicious-looking person approached him.
"Sir, do you want to have some fun?"
"Put some silver in, and if you're lucky, you can marry your wife right away!"
When Liu Zheng heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry.
In these days, are there any people who can open their mouths?
He looked curiously: "What are the odds for these companies?"
The man chuckled: "Young master, you are asking the right person. This year's Oiran Competition, the first one is naturally the Orchid Fragrance Class! Jinghua Xiao Ruozhi, the palace dance has the best chance of winning! The second one is Fengming Tower, followed closely, the Liu family The young master is a genius, no one knows what other tricks he has!"
Genius?
Liu Zheng chuckled.
He still liked this evaluation.
