Zhou Quan nodded and stood up, "I know!"
After speaking, he slightly cupped his hands as a farewell, then opened the door and left.
Zhao Tai looked at his back and said, "This guy is a bit arrogant and doesn't take me seriously!"
After Zhou Quan left, Zhao Tai stayed in the room for a while, and then asked Hu Zhen to come in, wanting to know how his Zhao company was developing during his absence.
Now Zhao Tai has a lot of ideas in his mind, but there are few talents around him and no trustworthy confidants, which makes Zhao Tai very distressed.
In ancient times, Zhao Tai did not have the two most important relationships, the clan and the township party. He could only use his former subordinates like Hu Zhen.
This made Zhao Tai feel a little unsure. After all, Zhao Tai had no life-long friendship with them.
Not long after, Hu Zhen came in, and Zhao Tai pointed to the chair and told him to sit down, "Lao Hu, sit down and talk!"
"Yes!" Hu Zhen nodded and sat down somewhat cautiously.
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Man Chun Lou, you manage it well!"
Hu Zhen's face was filled with joy. She was very excited to be recognized by Zhao Tai. "Young Master is so complimentary. I actually didn't do anything!"
Zhao Tai knew that he was just a top soldier who didn't know how to manage, and Manchun Tower was run by the original team.
Zhao Tai also mixed a bowl of tea soup for him, "Have tea!"
Drinking tea in the Song Dynasty was different from that in later generations. The way of drinking tea in later generations was formed during the Ming Dynasty.
Zhao Tai is not very interested in this tedious tea ceremony, he still hopes to drink it like Zhu Yuanzhang.
This is actually also a business opportunity. A huge class of citizens has emerged in the Song Dynasty, but these people don't have much time to eat tea as slowly as the scholar-bureaucrats.
If Zhao Tai could simplify the tea-drinking process in the Song Dynasty, he would not only allow more people in the Song Dynasty to drink tea, but also sell more tea to surrounding ethnic groups and countries.
This will bring huge profits to Zhao Tai, but he currently lacks helpers, so he can only dream about it for the time being, but he has no conditions to take action.
Hu Zhen took the green tea soup, and Zhao Tai asked: "Did anyone cause trouble in Manchunlou while I was away in Chuzhou?"
Hu Zhen shook her head, "No, with the King's Director protecting me, no one is looking for trouble!"
Zhao Tai asked again: "Did Wang Hui intervene in the business? Or put forward any new conditions?"
Hu Zhen said: "That's not the case!"
Zhao Tai felt relieved when he heard this, and then said: "Now that Manchun Tower is on the right track, I will go to Bianjing next. You continue to stay in Chuzhou, and you must focus on theaters, inns, wine shops and other industries!" "
Hu Zhen was reused, but there was no joy on his face. Instead, he looked panicked and full of confusion: "Master, you know me, how can I possibly do these things!"
When Zhao Tai heard this, he was silent for a while. He was really trying to get ahead of himself, and it was too difficult for others to do.
Talent! There is such a lack of talent!
Zhao Tai sighed, "You go ahead and hire someone else if you don't understand. The most labor-saving way at the moment is to go directly to the inns and wine shops that are operating, and then you can buy them at a high price, and at the same time, you can buy them at a high price." The shopkeeper and store clerk have both signed up and asked them to continue their work. Just keep an eye on the person you hired. I'll see if I can find you a helper later!"
Now Zhao Tai can only adopt such a barbaric and rough expansion method. As for the possible hidden dangers, he can only consider them later.
Hu Zhen reluctantly agreed, and Zhao Taisui asked: "Have the arrangements with Mr. Jia and the troupe been made?"
Hu Zhen said: "It's all arranged!"
Zhao Tai nodded, "Okay! There is one more thing. Find a few people to help me keep an eye on it."
"Master, please give me your instructions!" Hu Zhen saluted.
Zhao Tai lowered his voice and said, "Find a few reliable people to keep an eye on the canal. Once you find the Mongolian mission, come back and notify them immediately."
Hu Zhen nodded, "I'll do it right away."
~~~~~~
After Kuoduan left Lin'an, he went north along the canal.
Shortly after Zhao Tai arrived in Chuzhou, the Mongolian fleet also left Zhenjiang Prefecture and entered the Yangtze River.
At this time, Kuo Duan stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the broad Yangtze River, and said in a deep voice: "From what I see along the way, the Southern Song Dynasty's army has nothing to fear. Only the Yangtze River's natural chasm will be an obstacle to our Mongolia's southward march."
Ye Luxuan stood beside him and sighed: "What the prince said is true! We, the Mongolian cavalry, are all over the world, but we are saddened by the Yangtze River."
Kuo Duan said: "We in Mongolia will definitely get the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River. You have to have people record the situation along the Yangtze River and draw it into a map so that the army can go south to destroy the Song Dynasty in the future."
Ye Luxuan said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have ordered people to secretly map everything along the way."
Kuo Duan nodded with satisfaction, but then sighed, "This time I went to the Southern Song Dynasty as an envoy. I originally thought that using the land of the Central Plains to lure me, I would definitely be able to reach an alliance with the Southern Song Dynasty, but I didn't want to be broken by that Zhao Tai again. Whenever I think of this person, I will I can't help but gnash my teeth and want to kill him quickly."
Ye Luxuan said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so angry. Over the past dynasties, the world has been dominated by the north and the south. We, Mongolia, have become the general trend. That Zhao Tai is just a clown. He can't change it no matter how hard he tries. The Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty will be wiped out by us." fate."
Kuo Duan nodded slightly, "I also know the general trend of the world, but this Zhao Tai is really annoying. In the Jin Kingdom, he ruined my good deeds, and in the Southern Song Dynasty, he ruined my good deeds, preventing me from completing my father's work. The mission entrusted.”
Ye Luxuan said: "The prince failed to reach the agreement with the Southern Song Dynasty this time, but it is not without gain. Now we only need to follow the plan discussed with Shi Miyuan and jointly eliminate the money."
Kuo Duan nodded reluctantly, "When the Jin Dynasty is overthrown and the Song Dynasty is overthrown, I must kill Zhao Tai, rob him of all his property, and insult his beloved woman, so that I can relieve the hatred in my heart."
The Mongolian fleet, spying on the reality of the Southern Song Dynasty, slowly entered the territory of Chuzhou.
On this day, the Mongolian fleet arrived at Jieshou Town at the junction of Chuzhou and Gaoyou Army. The ships temporarily docked to purchase a batch of daily necessities.
On the dock, several subordinates sent by Hu Zhen looked at the Mongolian fleet from a distance.
The leader stared at the Mongolians who got off the boat and said to his accomplices: "They are Mongolians. Go back and report to Shopkeeper Hu."
"Brother, be careful then." A man nodded, turned and left.
After Zhao Tai arrived in Chuzhou, he ordered Wanyan Chenglin to return to the Kingdom of Jin to mobilize troops, while he waited for the Mongols in Chuzhou while sorting out his property.
On this day, he led everyone in the Sun family to a two-story stilted building he bought, and showed them around the yard he bought.
"This is where you will live and perform from now on." Zhao Tai smiled and said, "I don't have much time and can't come here often, so I will leave this theater to Boss Sun."
After hearing this, Sun Erniang couldn't help but be filled with joy, "I will definitely live up to the trust of the young master."
While they were talking, Hu Zhen suddenly came over in a hurry and whispered to Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes and exuded murderous intent, "They are finally here."
