Chapter 370 The four maidservants of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, look at Xiao Xiangye with a smile!
Seeing that neither Cai Qiong nor Zhao Cheng looked fake, Yuan Zhang asked, "Master Cai, do you really not know Zhao Cheng?"
Cai Qiong asked: "Is he some big shot? I must know him?"
Yuan Zhang asked again: "Then do you know whose property belongs to the Oriental Chamber of Commerce?"
"I know that this person belongs to the Xiao family of Jingdong County. It is said that the founder of the Chamber of Commerce is not the head of the Xiao family, but the youngest son of the head of the family."
"Then do you know who is going south on behalf of the Oriental Chamber of Commerce this time?"
"I also know that this official is the son of Qingdong Hou and the eldest son of the right prime minister..."
While saying that, Cai Qiong suddenly thought of something and said in surprise: "Zhao Cheng? Zhao? Is it the young prime minister?"
Zhao Cheng and Xu An looked at each other, thinking that this uncle is good at acting...
Enough of the performance here. Worried that Cai Qiong would not be able to get off the stage if the performance continued, Zhao Cheng quickly pulled Xu An over to salute.
"Zhao Cheng, Xu An, have met the county governor!!"
Cai Qiong showed her first smile after entering the door, helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "The young prime minister and the young marquis are really good-looking and talented!"
Zhao Cheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Cai. Xu Annan and I have been tired for more than half a year, and our skin has turned black. But as soon as we entered Yunjing County, we suddenly felt that the water and soil were pleasant, the air was fresh, and our skin became white again.
return."
Cai Qiong nodded with satisfaction and said proudly: "I have been to many places, but Yunjing is indeed a good place to raise people."
"Good mountains, good waters, good people and good officials..."
"I am over-flattered……"
Seeing Zhao Cheng and Cai Qiong chatting, as if they were meeting for the first time, Yuan Zhang's face turned dark as he was left aside.
"Master Cai..." Yuan Zhang reminded.
Cai Qiong suddenly reacted and said: "I know! Your Majesty said that I was helping Zhao Cheng. Did you think that I have a personal relationship with Zhao Cheng?"
"This is a big joke!"
Cai Qiong said sternly: "I support the cooperation between the Oriental Chamber of Commerce and Yunshang, for the sake of the economy and people's livelihood of Yunjing County!"
"Is this really true?" Yuan Zhang didn't want to argue anymore, and said in a deep voice: "Since Mr. Cai disagrees with me, I will report to your majesty and let him make a decision. But before that, Zhao Cheng's business cannot come in
."
"Okay!" Cai Qiong snorted coldly and said: "Then I will also report to Your Majesty and ask the champion Wang Tong to take charge of the military affairs of the southern border army, but he took the risk to go to Yunmeng City to care about the economy and people's livelihood. Why?
"
"Cai Qiong!" Yuan Zhang finally couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said: "Yunjing City is the county town. Didn't you also run from Yunjing City to Yunmeng City?"
Cai Qiong said confidently: "I am the governor of a county. Where can I go from Yunjing County? Can't I come to Yunmeng City to inspect the work??"
"you!!"
Cai Qiong and Yuan Zhang stared at each other in a stalemate, showing no fear at all.
Any other purely civilian county governor might have been defeated by Yuan Zhang's eyes, but Cai Qiong was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Although he was a civilian official, he was a military general at heart and could not be intimidated by Yuan Zhang.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and then Cai Qiong approached Yuan Zhang and whispered.
"Your Majesty, we both work in the same territory. We each have responsibilities, so it's good that we don't delay each other. I won't affect your military affairs, and you shouldn't affect my economic development. What kind of grudge does Zhao Cheng have against you? Or are you also the prime minister?
I don't care about any festivals in the government. I only know that Yunjing County needs Zhao Cheng's business."
With that said, Cai Qiong came closer to Yuan Zhang and lowered her voice: "Your Majesty knows very well that the money allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs to the army in recent years has basically been used to deal with Ye Dan in the north. Most of the prince's southern frontier army has
We, Yunjing County, are all self-sufficient. As a county governor, in addition to taking care of the food and drink of the people, I also have to take care of the food and drink of the army. Do you think I am not tired?"
Hearing this, Yuan Zhang fell silent.
He knew that Cai Qiong had made great efforts to increase the consumption and pay of the Zhennan frontier army.
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cai Qiong is Yuan Zhang's pocketbook.
"Your Majesty, I promise you, if the economy of Yunjing County gets better after the Oriental Chamber of Commerce comes in, my support for the Zhennan Frontier Army will be even greater."
Yuan Zhang weighed it up and found that Cai Qiong had already said this, and he had no reason to refute.
He also leaned close to Cai Qiong's ear and whispered: "Tell me the truth, do you really not know Zhao Cheng?"
"I really don't know him."
"Where's the Right Chancellor?"
"Then I don't even know him. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty, you can check my resume. When I was Commander Long, I was just a small border guard general. How could I have the chance to know a big shot like him."
Yuan Zhang thought for a moment and said: "After Zhao Cheng comes in, you must keep an eye on him. Always remember that you are an official of Dajing."
"Don't worry, I understand the prince's concerns." Cai Qiong nodded, knowing that Yuan Zhang said this and agreed.
Seeing Cai Qiong and Yuan Zhang separate, everyone was confused and didn't know what the two big guys were whispering.
I saw Cai Qiong looking towards the merchants and said: "Boss Mu, Boss Jia, do you have food to eat at the Yun Business Conference? You didn't eat anything along the way. If you have anything, give us some. After eating, I will accompany you
You continue to complete the procedures of the Cloud Business Conference!"
Hearing this, the merchants looked at each other with joy on their faces.
It seems that the Sheriff and the Champion have reached an agreement!
Zhao Cheng cast a grateful look at Cai Qiong. Although he knew that Cai Qiong was indeed interested in his product, being able to help him to this point must be inseparable from his relationship with Cai Yiyi.
Cai Yiyi sold "Ying Ying Ying" in Southern Zhou Dynasty and made a lot of money!
"Yes, yes! Hurry, serve good wine and good food!!!" Mu Yan and Jia Zhong hurriedly arranged.
Cai Qiong said: "Your Majesty, can we stay and have something to eat together?"
"You are going to hold a cloud business conference after dinner, and I will not attend." Yuan Zhang waved his hand and put on his hood, as if he was about to leave.
"Military affairs cannot be delayed, so I take my leave."
Cai Qiong clasped her fists and said: "Your Majesty, take care of your health and hope that your Majesty will regain the southern land for Dajing as soon as possible!!"
Everyone sent each other off and said: "Congratulations to the champion!!!"
Yuan Zhang turned around and left. When he was about to walk out of the door with Wuhua and a group of people, he saw several men in gorgeous clothes leading four girls in.
One of them shouted: "Excuse me, is Mr. Zhao Cheng here?"
Zhao Cheng glanced at Zhao Wu, who stepped forward with a sword in hand and asked, "Who are you, and what do you have to do with the young prime minister?"
The man bowed to Zhao Wu and said, "The young man comes from Hechong County in Nanzhou."
Hearing that Nanzhou Hechong County, Yuan Zhang, who had reached the gate, stopped.
Hechong County borders Yunjing County and is the location of the Southern Zhou military camp.
The man went on to say: "The young one is a steward of the Little Governor's Mansion in Southern Zhou Dynasty. I came here to see the Young Prime Minister on the order of the Little Governor."
Zhao Wu asked: "Why is Yang Qingzhi looking for the young prime minister?"
"Giving gifts."
"A gift? What gift?"
The man clapped his hands, and the four girls came forward.
"The young governor said that he heard that the young prime minister had four beautiful maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting. He couldn't give them ordinary gifts, so he cut off his love and gave them to the four maids in the governor's house, who were called "plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum".
