Chapter 399 Don't hold it, it's easy to be killed if you hold it
"Master He, did I hear you correctly?"
He Yin's expression finally relaxed and he smiled and said, "Your Majesty's oral instructions will not be wrong."
Zhao Cheng said with a grimace: "Is my brother-in-law so dark? This is much more expensive than paying taxes upright!"
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say." He Yin couldn't help coughing again.
Zhao Cheng complained: "I became a worker for him!"
"Everything in the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land are the king's ministers. Your majesty can not restrain you and let you do business without any worries. You are already extremely ambitious."
He Yin advised: "Although I am in charge of the Criminal Department, I still know a little about business matters. Your Majesty wants a 50-50 split of your profits, but the amount of profits must not be based on the numbers on your accounts? I have reviewed it.
There are so many cases, but I have never seen a businessman whose accounts are true."
Zhao Cheng immediately said: "Master He, you have a great idea, thank you for your advice!!"
Saying this, he bowed.
He Yin quickly held Zhao Cheng's head and said loudly: "Prince-in-law, please don't cheat me! I didn't teach you to deceive the emperor!!"
Zhao Cheng said gratefully: "Master He may not take credit, but I, Zhao Cheng, must not forget the kindness!"
"I beg you..." He Yin was almost speechless and said: "If you do this, will I dare to tell you the truth in the future?"
"Hahaha..." Zhao Cheng laughed and said, "Just kidding, your majesty is not only your majesty, but also my brother-in-law. We are all family members. How could I lie to him? As long as I agree, it will be a 50-50 split."
Fifty-fifty split!”
Zhao Cheng patted He Yin on the shoulder and said: "And I think Master He is right! Without your Majesty's support, I would not be able to take over Yunjing County, even Jiangyang County, and I would have to stay in Yanchuan for the rest of my life.
If we do business with Jingdong County in Chengdu, how can we make more money?"
He Yin muttered: "Do you only have Jiangyang County and Yunjing County now? You have taken down the entire Southern Zhou Market..."
Zhao Cheng waved his hands, looking indifferent, and said: "We can't make much money over there in Southern Zhou! All the profits were taken away by these two bastards, Yang Qingzhi and Zhou Jinghuan! This agreement between Yang Qingzhi and I was purely made by
Forced to sign!"
Hearing this, He Yin was startled and immediately understood what Zhao Cheng meant.
The accounts of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were handled by Yang Qingzhi, and the court could not check them. Judging from Zhao Cheng's tone, the profits of the Southern Zhou Dynasty were not going to be distributed to His Majesty.
Zhao Cheng's business in Dajing only had three counties, while there were ten counties in the Southern Zhou Dynasty.
Divide the profits from three counties to Your Majesty and keep the profits from ten counties in your hands. Zhao Cheng still makes a lot of money!
Seeing the change in He Yin's expression, Zhao Cheng didn't care if he guessed his thoughts. It was just a matter of tacit and secret wrestling.
If you see through it but don't tell it, life will go on as usual.
What's more, the five points of profit from the three counties is not a small amount, which is enough to improve the quality of Yuan Xiu's private life.
Due to the war and disaster relief, Dajing's treasury was almost empty. Thanks to Xu Shouli's taking office, the treasury was revitalized. However, the treasury is still poor, so Yuan Xiu's internal funds will not be much better. With the profit sharing of the three counties
, which can make him, a poor emperor, wealthy in one go.
He Yin asked: "Did the consort agree?"
Zhao Cheng curled his lips and said, "I've already given the order, can I resist it?"
"That's good, then I can go back and deliver the mission." He Yin saluted Zhao Cheng and said, "Since the prince-in-law is fine, I will go with your right minister."
Zhao Cheng asked: "Why don't you go and meet the Champion King and Master Cai?"
He Yin shook his head and said: "I am not good at making opinions on things that your Majesty has not explained. These 20,000 soldiers and horses were pieced together from Shangyang County and Jiangyang County. Go back early and let them return to their posts.
Your Majesty should also feel at ease."
Zhao Cheng clasped his fists at He Yin and said sternly: "Master He is truly a sage and a pillar of the country!"
"Don't praise me. If you praise me, you will easily be beheaded." He Yin bowed to Zhao Cheng and said, "Prince-in-law, farewell."
"Master He, take care on the road."
Watching He Yin leave, Zhao Cheng looked at Zhao Huan from a distance and waved to his father.
Zhao Huan and his party went north.
On the way, He Yin, who was originally riding alongside Zhao Huan, fell back slightly and came to He Zhi's side.
"Brother."
He Zhi's expression was neither happy nor sad, and he said, "I have long since severed ties with the He family."
"Then you are also my eldest brother, and we share the same blood." He Yin said seriously: "You haven't changed your name, which means you still miss your family in your heart!"
He Zhi was silent for a while and then said: "With so many pairs of eyes here looking at you, it will not be good for you to recognize me."
He Yin said: "I recognized you the last time I went to Youxiang's Mansion, but I was afraid of disturbing your life, so I didn't recognize you. But recently, my father often mentioned you..."
He Zhi asked: "How is his health?"
"I'm dying." He Yin shook his head and said, "I have been lying on the hospital bed for more than half a year. I often think about you and hope to see you one last time."
He Zhi said in a deep voice: "After he dies, the burial place should be far away from my mother and sister."
"Brother..."
"Master He, I haven't been to Yunjing County very often, and I'm not familiar with the situation here. You'd better ask others!"
He Zhi clamped his horse's belly tightly, deliberately said loudly, and moved forward.
He Yin sighed.
…
Muqiaokou.
In order to put pressure on the Southern Zhou Dynasty to force them to release people, Yuan Zhang, who always put the overall situation first, also successively increased his troops to Muqiaokou to 50,000 people, so that when Zhao Cheng just walked to the outskirts of Muqiaokou, he was suddenly beaten by everyone.
The military formation was shocked.
Fifty thousand soldiers stood neatly like this, even if they had no expressions or movements, they could still create a terrifying deterrent effect.
Fortunately, Zhao Cheng didn't leave long before Yuan Zhang and his son took the initiative to greet him.
Yuan Zhang held Zhao Cheng's hand tightly and said, "Consort, I'm tired!"
When Zhao Cheng was about to reply, Yuan Qi unexpectedly knelt down on one knee to Zhao Cheng, clasped his fists and said, "General Victory, I will thank you for saving my father's life!"
With that said, he bowed to Zhao Cheng fiercely.
This frightened Zhao Cheng so much that he went to help Yuan Qi gratefully.
Although Yuan Qi was made a general, his rank was not as high as that of Zhao Cheng. At this time, he called Zhao Cheng by his military rank and called himself the last general, which is correct.
But the problem is his kneeling to Zhao Cheng.
His surname was Yuan, and Zhao Cheng couldn't bear it.
"Little General Yuan, get up quickly and don't hurt me!"
Yuan Qi said sternly: "The grace for saving my life is greater than the heavens. I should kneel down and thank you on my father's behalf. Don't worry about the victorious general. You are not an ordinary minister. You are the consort of Jingguo and a relative of the emperor. You are worshiped by me, a common brother."
It’s not considered a transgression.”
After a little analysis, Zhao Cheng knew that what Yuan Qi said was reasonable, and he couldn't help but think more highly of Yuan Qi.
Zhao Cheng helped Yuan Qi up and said sincerely: "On the night of the fierce battle at Muqiaokou, General Yuan led the Dajing infantry in the lead. He jumped into the side car and fought bloody battles. He was fearless and unstoppable. I
It’s all in sight.”
"To be honest, I have great admiration for General Yuan!"
Zhao Cheng cupped his fists at Yuan Qi and said, "With young generals like General Yuan in Dajing, Dajing will have a worry-free future!"
