Zhou Zheng only met Cao Wenzhao once in Zunhua. He only smiled when he heard Zhang Fengyi's words and raised his hand and said, "I dare not be an official."
Zhang Fengyi looked at Zhou Zheng with an expression of approval, and said, "What's the trouble with Denglai?"
Zhou Zheng paused and said, "Denglai was slaughtered by Kong Youde. The people were slaughtered by Kong Youde. The people were left behind. All industries were dying. They needed relief. People from Pidao went to the building empty and deserted. The government needs manpower and time to rebuild. Lushun... I plan to build a fortress, and I’m working hard to build the city. Xiaguan... A hundred cannons are allocated in Lushun, and 20,000 soldiers are planned to be stationed. The navy is divided into two parts, one in Weihaiwei and the other in Lushun, totaling 10,000 people..."
Zhang Fengyi listened, frowning unconsciously, and said, "You, don't you need a small amount of money and food, right?"
Zhou Zheng actually came to get vaccinations and hesitated: "The subordinate officials have done everything they can to raise funds. No matter how much or how long, the subordinate officials hope to rebuild Dongjiang Town, control and build captives from the right side, and cooperate with the northern part of Liaodong. Into the plan."
Zhang Fengyi tasted the taste, stared at Zhou for exactly a while, and said, "The Zhou Chamber of Commerce, is it yours?"
Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't hide it from everyone. Zhou Zheng didn't play a perfunctory statement, saying: "It was built by many big businessmen led by the subordinate officials, and the subordinate officials did not participate."
Zhang Fengyi stared at Zhou Zheng and did not speak for a long time.
Zhou Zheng looked calm, picked up the tea cup freely, and took a sip.
Zhang Fengyi slowly picked up the tea cup and said lightly: "You stay in the capital. You are not allowed to leave without my permission."
Zhou Zheng was not surprised by Zhang Fengyi's reaction, saying: "Then, Denglai and Dongjiang Town..."
Zhang Fengyi put down his teacup, his expression did not hide his irritability, and then quickly calmed down, saying, "According to your plan. Also, cut your relationship with Zhou's Chamber of Commerce cleanly. If the court finds out and investigates it, I can't help it. you."
Zhou Zheng stood up, raised his hand and said, "Thank your lord."
Zhang Fengyi said so much, but he was actually protecting Zhouzheng. He didn't want him to expose too many flaws, otherwise he would be caught by the supervisor, which would be fatal!
Zhang Fengyi had a headache. There were still a lot of things to say to Zhou Zheng, but he couldn't remember it now, waved his hand, and said, "Tomorrow, I will get up in the military department and sit in the military's doctor's room. Do things with me. Go."
Zhou Zheng raised his hand again and said, "Yes. Master Xie, you will retire from the official."
Looking at Zhou Zheng's back, Zhang Fengyi had a headache and sighed for a long time: "Chaos..."
I don't know if he was talking about Zhou Zheng's chaos, the court's chaos, or both.
Zhou Zheng left the Ministry of War, settled down, and walked directly towards Zhou Yanru's mansion.
Zhou Yanru's recent situation is very bad. The cabinet is full. Emperor Chongzhen didn't hide his dissatisfaction with him anymore, so he had to tell him directly that he could leave.
At this moment, he is at home, reading a book with no thoughts.
Hearing that Zhou Zheng begged to see him, his expression moved, and then he secretly shook his head and got up to meet Zhou Zheng in the pavilion.
The two have a very close relationship, but this is the first official meeting.
Looking at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yanru felt emotionally and lonely, and said, "Heaven's heart has changed, and the manpower is helpless, aren't you here to persuade me?"
Zhou Zheng's expression moved slightly. Is Zhou Yanru really conscious of leaving, or pretending to be a temptation
Zhou Zheng would not take Zhou Yanru lightly, drank a sip of tea, and said: "Yuanfu, now I can leave, and I can still retreat. When the emperor is really impatient, I am afraid that the old and new accounts will be settled together."
Zhou Yanru's expression moved. After all, he was not reconciled. He said: "You have a good method, and the eunuch is helping me, really can't you give it another shot?"
Zhou Zheng sneered secretly, but Zhou Yanru was still reluctant to bear it.
Pretending to be silent for a moment, Zhou Zhengdao: "Yuanfu also said just now that Tianxin has changed, and manpower cannot be changed. If you insist blindly, it will be counterproductive."
Looking at Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yanru's face became more and more lonely, and he nodded helplessly, and said: "Wen Tiren can let me go when I am leaving?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "Wen Ge wants to sit firmly on the throne of the first assistant, so he won't do anything to Yuanfu, not to mention, I won't sit back and watch Yuanfu's accident."
Zhou Yanru just smiled and said, "I'm relieved with Zhou Gongzi's words."
Zhou Yanru knew that the young Master Zhou in front of him was very energetic, and his relationship with the inner supervisor in the palace was unbelievable.
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Before Yuanfu leaves, he has to do a few things for me."
Zhou Yanru said: "You and I have always been mutually beneficial, but it doesn't matter."
Zhou Zheng narrowed his smile and said: "First, handle Yuanfu's apprentices and grandchildren well, and don't leave troubles. Second, some of my generals in Denglai need to be promoted. Third, I want to expand the navy's army. Fourth, I want to recommend a few people. Fifth, I hope Yuanfu finds a reason to teach Zhao Li and dismiss Man Gui from office."
Zhou Yanru has been listening calmly, because what Zhou Zheng wants is not an embarrassment, but the latter can't help but start to say: "Man Gui, Zhao Lijiao? I remember that you have a good relationship with them, fighting side by side many times? "
Zhou Zheng didn't conceal it, saying: "The impeachment of the ruling and opposition parties is gradually starting. I am worried that after Yuan Fu leaves, I will not be able to protect them. It is better to let them leave when they can still retreat."
Zhou Yanru nodded silently. Liaodong has always been a focal point of the imperial controversy. Ouyang Sheng, Mangui, and Zhao Ledjiao gradually disagree in their northward strategy. In the imperial court, the attacks on the two have been accumulating.
Zhou Yanru took a sip of tea and said, "They have a bunch of handles to grasp, it's not difficult."
Zhou Zheng looked at Zhou Yanru and said, "Yuanfu, is there anything you want me to do?"
Zhou Yanru looked at Zhou Zheng with a gloomy expression, and said, "Everything will be empty here. I know that there are a lot of businesses in Young Master Zhou. I hope I can share some of them and spend my old age."
The corners of Zhou Zheng's eyes twitched slightly. This Zhou Yanru didn't know how much corruption he had in the past few years. He has a rich family background in Jiangnan. At this time, he still wants to hit him!
Zhou Zheng said calmly: "Yuanfu, if I were you, I would donate my family wealth to the court for safety. If I am still greedy for yellow and white things at this time, disaster will not be far away."
Zhou Yanru's sad expression suddenly looked a little ugly. He knew that Zhou Zheng was warning.
Thinking of him being fiddled with by a governor, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, but in a flash, Zhou Yanru suppressed it and said with a smile: "What the son of Zhou said is."
This one really can do it on his own.
Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, got up and said, "If there is nothing else, I will leave after the official."
Zhou Yanru nodded reservedly and watched Zhou Zheng leave.
Seeing Zhou Zheng's back, Zhou Yanru's brows tightened, and he wanted to do something in his heart, but he didn't dare. This son of Zhou was unfathomable and he didn't dare to rush to make a move.
When Zhou Zheng left the Zhou Yanru mansion, he found Meng Hezhou and said, "Watch Yuanfu's movements."
Meng Hezhou guessed that Zhou Zheng was going to do something, and said with a solemn expression: "Yes." (End of this chapter)
