After Zhou Zheng returned to the house, he took a group of children to play for a while, then read and rested on his own.
When it got dark, Zhou's family began to finish eating. At the dinner table, Liu Liuzhe whispered: "Second Young Master, still outside."
Zhou Zheng set his chopsticks and continued to eat.
A few little guys gobbled it up. Not long after, a bunch of chopsticks dropped the sentence "I'm full," and they all ran away, including the youngest Xiao Ke'er.
Zhou Zheng looked at Shang Guanqing curiously, and said, "What are they doing?"
Shangguan pursed the corner of his mouth and said, "There is a Xiyi in the city, who brought a lot of weird things."
Zhou Zheng knows, and smiles: "If they want to play, let them play, don't stop."
Shangguanqing glared at him, wiped his mouth, and followed away.
Zhou Zheng sighed and shook his head.
After dinner, Zhou Zheng and Liu Liuzhe played chess in the study, talking about various things.
I don't know how long it took, Liu Liuzhe suddenly said, "Second Young Master, I'm still outside after Ning."
Zhou Zheng picked up a cup of hot tea, took a sip, and said, "It seems that Jianlu's situation is more serious than we thought."
Liu Liuzhe nodded and said, "The news that Lao Meng has passed back is true, and Huang Taiji is about to die. He definitely wants to arrange the funeral, otherwise he will be subjugated when he died.
Zhou Zheng looked outside and said, "Send him in."
Liu Liuzhe got up, found someone outside the door, and whispered a few words.
The captain hurriedly ran out of the door, and soon led me in with Ning Wan, who was soaked all over.
Ning Wan, I was frozen and trembling. I stiffly raised my hand and said, "Zheng Xibo."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "Pour a cup of tea for Mr. Ning."
Ning finished my face pale. After thanking him, I sat down opposite Zhou Zheng, looked at the endgame, and said, "The chess game of Xibo is very meaningful."
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and covered his hand, and said, "The whole Ming knows that my chess skills are not good, Mr. Ning, you can't sit in a high position with such flattering skills."
Ning Wan, I looked up solemnly, and said: "There is no problem with the layout of Zheng Xibo, majestic, but it is a step away, always a step slower, and loses the first step. Of course, if there is anything else, Shu Ning has a clumsy eye. can not tell."
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, and this one saw it clearly.
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Mr. Ning has been guarding outside my door for a few hours, so I must have something to say."
After Ning, I took the tea cup handed by Liu Liuzhe. I didn’t drink it. I held it in my hand and stared at Zhou Zheng’s eyes and said: “We all agreed to the four of your Majesty’s four sons entering Beijing. Dorgon rate Accompanied by five thousand cavalry. Territory, according to what you said, but you cannot station more than five thousand troops."
At this juncture, any more temptations and psychological warfare, Ning Wan, I don't think it is necessary at all.
Even if he could agree to such harsh conditions, Zhou Zheng probably guessed the situation of Jianlu in his heart. He turned his teacup lightly and wondered whether he would come to a fight.
Soon, this idea was suppressed by Zhou Zheng. If the dying tiger showed off his power, the Ming Dynasty might not be able to take advantage of it, but instead gave Jianlu a chance to survive.
Zhou Zheng pondered for a long time, and said: "This matter cannot be made public, do not sign anything. What you gave me was obtained by Da Ming, and your protons are also voluntary."
Ning Wan, my gaze kept staring at Zhou Zheng, and said: "Zheng Xibo promised us, how can I honor it?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "You are smuggling in North Korea, I close one eye, and the West Gate is the same."
After listening to Ning, I realized that Zhou Zheng didn't really mean to trade each other. I tightened my brows and said, "I hope that Zheng Xibo can produce 100,000 shi of grain as a sincerity."
"Yes." Zhou Zheng agreed without hesitation.
Ning Wan twitched my mouth. If Zhou Zheng hesitated, he still held hope. Zhou Zheng was so happy that he felt desperate.
"When?" Ning finished gritting my teeth.
Zhou Zhengdao: "Now I have no food in Daming, so let's wait for the summer harvest."
After Ning, I immediately said: "No, it must be years ago!"
If he can survive the summer harvest, what will he do in Daming for peace
Zhou Zheng raised his brows and said, "I couldn't draw a hundred thousand stones before."
Ning Wan, I don't believe it at all, others can't call it out, Zhou Zheng can definitely do it!
Ning Wan, I took a deep breath and said, "Before the end of the year, 50,000 stones, no less."
Zhou Zheng said again without hesitation: "Okay."
Ning Wan, my heart was full of anxiety, my eyes flickered, and I said, "Immediately lift the blockade on us, Xikou, North Korea."
Zhou Zheng didn't know what Ning finished and I paid attention, pretending to hesitate: "Wait for your protons to arrive."
I was relieved after Ning Wan, as long as he had an opening, he would have a way to get food from the Ming Dynasty to Shenyang!
Zhou Zheng looked at Ning Wan's expression with a deep smile in his eyes, turned to Liu Liuzhe, and said, "Take Mr. Ning to see Zhang Heyi and agree on the specific details."
After Ning, I quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Zheng Xibo."
Zhou Zheng didn't bother to care about him, just hope that he won't hate him for gnashing his teeth.
Liu Liuzhe took the command and took Ning Wan and me away.
Zhou Zheng stretched out comfortably, got up and turned to the bedroom.
How could Zhou Yanru anticipate that Zhou Zheng and Jianlu would behave in this way, and he was ready to have a talk with Zhou Zheng, and then strongly refused.
Now he and Zhou are in each other's needs. Zhou Zheng wants to take advantage of him, and he wants to take advantage of Zhou Zheng's power. The two are no longer incompatible with each other and cooperate more.
How could he think of it
The government was disturbed and bustling, and in a blink of an eye it was time for the annual vacation.
But because the new emperor had just ascended the throne, there were too many things, and most officials did not take vacations and were still busy.
Zhou Zheng was just as idle, and the reforms were so complicated that he had to take care of them, especially the general direction.
But in three days, Zhang Heyi and Ning Wan I finalized the details of the'discussion', and after Zhou Zheng made some amendments, he took Ning Wan and I to see Lu Xiangsheng in Liaodong.
For this matter, Lu Xiangsheng still needs to coordinate and make detailed arrangements.
Jianlu's'negotiation' this time may not have hidden other thoughts and needs to be handled carefully.
As the new year approached, Zhou Zheng spent more and more time in the cabinet, meeting with Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi, Li Banghua and others very frequently, and there were more and more discussions and disputes.
The huge cabinet often quarrels, even quarrels at conferences. Dozens of people quarrel with you.
Too many things have nothing to do with party disputes. They are purely about different views and handling of things. They state their pros and cons and argue about the key points.
Later, to formulate general guidelines for next year's yuan reform, next year's budget, government affairs, etc., is another quarrel, and there will be disputes in it.
Everyone does not care about the party, who is the official or the small official, and for their own department, it is a blushing and rough fight.
At this time, Zhou Zheng and Zhou Yanru couldn't keep their faces straight, overwhelming others with their aura, acting as peacemakers, coming and going to persuade them to make peace. (End of this chapter)
