Chapter Sixty-Nine Your Highness is indeed a gentleman of the world!
Taiji Palace·Taixue Mansion
"Hmm? What? Mr. Huo... invites me to visit Huo Mansion?"
Zhao Zheng was stunned when he heard this and looked at Hawking in confusion, but he didn't know what this meant?
After all, there was no relationship between me and Mr. Huo before.
"Yes, Your Highness, Grandfather rushed to the capital overnight yesterday, just to invite Your Highness to go to the mansion to repay his great kindness!"
Hawking respectfully gave his formal manners, but his etiquette was more thoughtful than in the past.
Since the Jinyang Salt and Iron Specialization, Hawking suddenly realized that the Ninth Prince, who usually calls him brothers and is equal to each other, is a real royal family member, standing at the top of the big fight!
His easy-to-use approach made the entire Huo family easily solve the problem of powerlessness!
Even with him, a meritorious person who was in contact with him, his status in the entire Huo family has increased rapidly. Even if Huo is the only one, Huo clan leader Huo, the Huo clan leader, was summoned to him personally and attach great importance to him.
Therefore, when he met his close friend, His Highness, whom he had been playing with since childhood, it was unforgettable, and he just wanted to be more respectful and cautious.
Even though His Highness the Ninth Prince still treated him as before, his heart was completely different.
When he realized for the first time that the help he could bring to him by making friends with the Ninth Prince was so terrible, he was truly panicked and grateful!
His Highness has such a status, but he still regards himself as brothers and never looks down on him.
But you must have a self-knowledge and know that there are differences in identities between the two, especially after His Highness becomes king in the future, it is even more like a difference between the king and the minister!
Therefore, Your Highness treats himself like this, but only by swearing to follow him to the death, he will be heartbroken!
"Repay my great kindness? This..."
Zhao Zheng was so confused that he heard it, what's the matter?
What I did, it was worth Mr. Huo personally to repay his kindness?
"If Your Highness hadn't helped to recommend His Highness the King of Jin, I, Huo, would have missed the power of the salt and iron franchise in Jinyang County! Only by obtaining this great favor can you get this great benefit. My Huo... is very grateful to Your Highness!"
Hawking said emotionally, and his words seemed to be extremely moved.
Unexpectedly, his highness remembered it in his heart, and even took the initiative to help mediate, inviting him to accompany His Highness King Jin to celebrate the banquet!
Only then did I find a way, but I almost lost the power of the salt and iron franchise, and luckily returned it to my loss!
Such a great kindness made Hawking cry and he couldn't repay him!!
"Oh? Ohoh... It turns out that's the matter!"
Zhao Zhengluo was stunned. When he heard the "Jinyang County Salt and Iron Specialty" he suddenly came to his senses!
But then I felt confused. I just called Hawking to come and go to the banquet that night, and then I threw this matter behind my mind and completely forgot it.
But why did he hear Hawking's words? This matter... was done for no reason?
And what about this salt and iron franchise? According to Hawking, it is quite important to their Huo family, otherwise they would not be grateful for this!
Even the old man of the Huo family rushed back to the capital from his hometown Quyang County to hold a banquet to thank him?
Although Zhao Zheng did not understand what the power of a county's salt and iron franchise meant, it did not prevent him from knowing it.
That is, in this matter that sounds quite important... I did nothing at all!!
"Uh... this matter is just a casual act! It's not necessary to hold a banquet to repay kindness, just handle the matter properly."
Zhao Zheng thought for a while and decided not to go deep into this matter. He went to Huo Mansion for a banquet or something. Let's forget it...
Otherwise, if I went over and asked questions and didn't know anything, wouldn't it just cause embarrassment?
"Your Highness! Grandfather, he specifically reminded me to invite you over!"
Hawking couldn't help but be anxious when he heard this, but his heart was even more moved.
I knew that Your Highness helped him, not for half the benefit of that mere salt and iron franchise!
It’s ridiculous that his uncle also judges a gentleman with his heart as a villain!
He dared to assert that the reason why the Ninth Prince mediated this matter so hard was that he had long wanted to cut half of the profit!
Little did he know that in the face of a county's huge profits of salt and iron, His Highness was not moved at all and never cared about it!
He even politely thanked the invitation and regarded such great kindness as a way to do it!
With such a mind... How many people in the world can compare with him?!
"I'm sorry~ I won't go..."
Zhao Zheng scratched his head, waved his hand in a little trouble, and still politely declined.
He asked about such strict rules and extremely polite banquets, which made him feel a headache and could not even avoid them. How could he take the initiative to get up?
"This... well, Your Highness is so noble that he admires Jin! However, I, Huo, is not a rat who knows his kindness and does not seek repaid. Regardless of whether Your Highness is invited today, the profits of Jinyang Salt and Iron are specialized in Jinyang, Huo should also share this profit with Your Highness in two and share this profit!"
Hawking sighed deeply, deeply feeling that His Highness’s words and deeds are united, and he is not weak in the style of an ancient gentleman!
But the more this happens, the more Huo is unable to learn from the ignorant rats, who are ungrateful and greedy for selfish interests!
Therefore, before visiting today, Hawking had already discussed with his grandfather. No matter whether His Highness values this half of the benefits, Huo needs to offer it with both hands and must not be interfered with!
This is the foundation of the Huo clan, which lasts for the long-lasting world!!
"Uh...what? Share this profit with me??"
Zhao Zheng was shocked when he heard this, but he never expected that Huo's behavior would be so generous and generous!
I was delighted at the moment. There was such a good thing about a pie falling from the sky?!
If I had known this, I would have asked clearly and agreed immediately!
People are rushing to give me money, but I am too lazy to go to the banquet...
This is a bit inappropriate!
"Your Highness! This is absolutely meaningless!"
Hawking's righteousness has been right, which shows that Huo's sincerity is something that can be seen by heaven and earth!
"Ahem... By the way, Brother Jin, what did you say just now?"
Zhao Zheng was immediately secretly happy, covered his mouth and coughed lightly to hide his excitement, and then asked quickly as if he hadn't heard it clearly.
"Uh...I said Huo is willing to share the benefits of Jinyang salt and iron with Your Highness!"
Hawking was stunned, but he hurriedly repeated.
"No, no, another sentence!"
Zhao Zheng waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that he didn't care about the bullshit benefits!
"Uh, my grandfather specifically reminded me that I would invite Your Highness to the banquet..."
Hawking was even more puzzled, but he could only continue to repeat.
"Hey~ That's right! The old man worked tirelessly and rushed from Quyang to the capital to host a banquet to entertain me... How could I bear to refuse it?"
Zhao Zheng shook his head repeatedly, and couldn't help but sigh, and he looked like a five-good young man in socialism who followed the core socialist values!
"Respecting the elderly and loving the young...but I am a traditional virtue of doing it!"
After Zhao Zheng said that, he threw his sleeves, but he walked out without asking for help and led the way. He just wanted to finalize the matter with Mr. Huo as soon as possible, so that he could count the money at home!
He was really afraid that he would go too late. What should he do if the old man made a mess... change his mind temporarily?
No, no, it’s better not to be late, so hurry up and not get free!
Thinking of this in my heart, Zhao Zheng's steps became more and more hasty.
Only Hawking was left alone, looking at the back of the Ninth Prince's hurriedly leaving, but he sighed sincerely!
"The way your Highness does... is actually a gentleman in the world!"
...
"In the tenth year of Tiance, King Zhao Sheng of Jin was first granted the title of king and his fief was Jinyang County.
It happened that the Huo family of Quyang was all in the power of the salt and iron franchise in Jinyang!
Huo's eldest son, Hawking, and the ninth prince Zhao Zheng, were intimate and were close friends. Therefore, he sought to mediate the Jinyang Salt and Iron Specialty.
Zheng was very moved and knew that Jinyang was a big county in the country. The profit of salt and iron in one county was far better than the combination of ordinary two counties!
Therefore, he devoted himself to designing and was able to get along with the Huo family of Quyang and King Zhao Sheng of Jin, and reap the fisherman!
He obtained half of the profits of a county's salt and iron specialization, and collected the famous Huo family's 100-year-old family. It can be said that he killed two birds with one stone and killed two birds with one stone!
It is ridiculous that the King of Jin lost the great profit of salt and iron in a county and had never been able to take over the famous Huo family and his subordinates. How ridiculous is it?
Alas! The political ambitions, ingenious and conspiracies are rare in the ages!”
