Regarding the statements made by Lu Gongzhu and Han Zhen, Zhao Xi did not express his position and said nothing.
The empress sent someone over and called Zhao Xi to talk to Ciming Palace... After they came back, they met, and Zhao Xi took his wife and children back to the East Palace.
The empress said it was because she missed her, and it was okay.
Zhao Xi hasn't gone to court yet, and no one is complaining about him not going to court. This time is not the time for the court meeting.
"Xi'er, can you hear about the dispute in the court?"
Dad is really a good man. He seems to be worried about competing with the courtiers, so there is a hint of coordination in his tone.
"Dad, since the ministers and ministers have different opinions on the child's duties, let's let the ministers discuss it first. No matter what the outcome is, the child will accept it."
It is impossible to say that Zhao Xi has no emotions at all. But there is no need for him to lose face with his father.
The reason why I gave such a slightly tough reply was actually to tell Dad: Don’t they love to yell? Just let them yell.
It's no big deal anyway.
Since the country and the dynasty already have boundaries between officials from the north and the south, we might as well let them openly talk about each other so that they can clearly see their respective positions.
Zhao Xi didn't plan to fight with the court. There was no need. Just transporting the little wealth by water would not be a big profit. They could really see the profit.
But Zhang Fangping contributed to this matter and tried his best to fulfill his duties. Before Zhao Xi compromised, he had to give an explanation to Lao Zhang and could not sell him out.
As for the dispute, Zhao Xi intended to let the court fight first, maybe what if it happened?
Taking advantage of this time, he also thought of another way out.
"Good wealth is hard to part with. It has been accumulated over the years. Changing it will only increase trouble. Xi'er, don't be in a hurry."
Zhao Zhen's words really stunned Zhao Xi for a moment. It turns out that his father knew better.
"The affairs of the country are in turmoil and will never come back. Dad thinks he is powerless to change things. Dad also knows that Xi'er has something in mind, but don't let the temporary competition for the first place lead to the failure of the court order."
What Zhao Zhen said was a bit sad, and this is also true.
Since the Qing Dynasty, when he relied on the Western bandits to establish himself, and the king's army suffered a series of defeats, Zhao Zhen intended to change the country. Unfortunately, as long as he changed, he would definitely touch someone.
It was also because he himself did not have a cruel heart. When the battle in the court was fierce, he could not bear it and stopped the New Deal.
It hurt Fan Zhongyan and also hurt the hearts of that group of people. Even now that Fu Bi has been appointed, he no longer has any thoughts about the shortcomings of the country. He just works hard to fulfill his responsibilities as a father-in-law and to be a qualified paper maker.
Xi'er...
"Daddy, children should be taught a lesson!"
From the heart. Zhao Xi really felt the same as his father at this time... It was really not easy.
…
"Xi'er, I'm calling you for my mother's sake. It's a matter of accepting a concubine. Now Su Yan is staying at Su Zirong's house. I heard that his brother Su Ziyuan left Guangnan when you left Yizhou. I think he should go to Bianliang in the future. Already."
"In addition, Dali submitted a letter of credence. Duan Xuan, the princess of the Duan family, brought the territory of Dongchuan Prefecture and wanted to form a good relationship with the country and the Qin Dynasty..."
Seeing that the father and son were relatively depressed, Empress Cao interrupted and said something happy, such as the crown prince accepting a concubine...
Zhao Xi knew about Su Yan's matter and didn't run away. When did another member of the Duan family appear?
Zhao Xi looked at Empress Cao blankly, and also glanced at Tao Niang... Nothing unusual. This little girl knew she was in love. It's been almost two days, why didn't she express anything?
"Third brother, Tao Niang is not a jealous woman. Don't look at me and let your parents blame me..."
I really don’t mean that, I just have some trouble with it.
However, the Duan family in Dali was so grand that they actually used Dongchuan Mansion as a dowry.
Zhao Xi still knows that in this era, a dowry is always a dowry. It only belongs to the married woman. It does not belong to whoever she marries.
However, when the two countries get married, it is another matter.
But Dongchuan Mansion... there is already a contract, and the space under the cowhide circle is enough, no more is useless.
When it came to Dongchuan, Zhao Zhen was obviously more interested. No matter what the situation was at the beginning, Shilin was impressed by Xi'er's skill.
Even Goulan Restaurant and Watai Theater are widely sung.
Old Chen Lin is very knowledgeable and knows the preferences of officials during this period.
No, before anything happened, old Chen Lin had already taken out the map.
Everyone is interested in this kind of thing, even Tao Niang is interested in it, after all, it is her man's beauty.
Although Zhao Xi was a little embarrassed, he accompanied his family to look at the map...
This Huichuan... When Zhao Xi saw the map, he suddenly remembered the city named after a flower in later generations... How could he forget this?
Named after a flower, it is really famous for its output. It is a famous iron ore producing area in almost the entire country and even Asia.
It's a pity that it's either Dongchuan or Dongchuan. He has already drawn a circle, this will be Chuan... Zhao Xi didn't consider whether to accept a concubine or not. He had the iron prison in his mind...
As for the good relationship between Qin and Jin, I don't know if I can discuss it with the Duan family, for example, to change the dowry into Huichuan or something.
Zhao Xi herself felt that it was quite shameless. She kept thinking about other people's dowries without talking about the betrothal gifts, and she felt a little reluctant in her heart.
How can I put it this way? I met this girl a few times and didn't say much. She just became my own in a confused way.
It's true that he can't make the decision in this kind of thing, so if it's awkward, just be a bit more awkward. It would be better if Huichuan Mansion can be used as a dowry.
When the time comes, it won’t matter if your family talks about family members or does some things for your family members, and then there is no need for you to fight for Xuzhou Railway Supervisor’s livelihood in the court.
Even for transportation, Zhao Xi wanted to start a new business... He didn't think that the copper and iron he had obtained with all his efforts would enrich the water transportation along the way.
When he was in Dali, Zhao Xi once said that Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Jingchu would be given priority. Now that he thinks about it, he was wrong.
Before the copper mine's income reaches a certain level, it is very likely that they will use water transportation to ensure their own income... With the foundation of water transportation, there is really no way to say.
And the result is...it doesn't matter whether the copper mine is good or not, in the end they won't pay compensation.
Dad is spoiling them, and Zhao Xi has no intention of continuing to spoil them. He can't control the water transportation, and he can't take down the Xuzhou Railway Supervisor, okay, I'll start a new one, and we'll see about you later!
But, how to tell the daughter of the Duan family about this dowry?
In the end, her Duan family must have benefited, but they just started asking for it...it was just a little too much.
"Xi'er... Third brother~...do you have any thoughts?"
Zhao Xi didn't hear it until he was called several times.
"Dongchuan Prefecture has already signed a contract. It is useless to add more territory. The copper reserves will be safe for hundreds of years. This territory will be used as a dowry, so it will be the same."
Very cool! This is what a big country should be like. Tao Niang loves to hear Zhao Xi talk like this. This shows that the third brother is looking for the dowry, not the princess of the Duan family.
"It would be great if we could build an enclave in Huichuan, or in other words, enclose an enclave in Huichuan."
"Why?"
"There is iron ore in Huichuan, and even the Xuzhou Railway Supervisor cannot match the reserves!"
The family planned the dowry for the bride's mother's family. It was embarrassing to tell the story, but no one was embarrassed at all. Even old Chen Lin showed up.
