Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou, looked up slightly, and said, "At this time, I am very curious. Who will come to you as a lobbyist?"
He just cleaned up Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing, Li Banghua, and Qian Qianyi, and sent away the old forces of Zhou Yanru, so soon someone came back
Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Just tell me or not?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou with a thoughtful expression.
In his presupposition, this parliamentary council has more than 48 seats, but it is impossible to let go of it all at once. It needs to be developed and improved slowly.
As for the ingredients inside, it is natural to cover every class and hear all the voices from all over the country.
Jiang Ninghou saw that Zhou Zheng was silent and said: "Five thousand hectares. In addition, we will donate another 300,000 silver to the court. We are also willing to solve some of your matters."
Zhou Zheng became even more curious, and said: "Explain a little bit? If I don't know what to do in my heart, you won't get anything."
Jiang Ninghou frowned slightly, and immediately said: "You should know that Yang Sichang and others are not one or two people, but the vast majority. They all know that your council will have a great effect and are willing to participate. I think this is the case. A good thing can give you a great help."
Zhou Zheng nodded quietly. Most of these people have something to do with Yang Sichang and others, but they are not so directly connected, but they also hope that they can succeed.
Zhou Zheng picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said, "You want to take advantage of this to develop power, and this is another wave of Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing?"
Jiang Ninghou lightly shook his head and said, "They were too anxious. Someone told me that no matter how vigorous the reforms of Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi were, they were immediately overthrown as soon as they left. Wang Anshi is still full of infamy. Dingguo Duke, you are an unworldly minister. Whether it is me or anyone else, I hope to have a good end. And I and others are all laymen, don't ask for anything left in the history books, but only hope that while we are in this world, we will ask for some wealth and stability."
Zhou Zheng was a little surprised. This Jiang Ninghou had always been a wise man before
Zhou Zheng thought about it and said: "According to the plan, each province has two quotas, and the others are supplemented by the court and the military. If you ask for five quotas at once, it will disrupt the balance. Others may not agree to it. I need to consider it. "
Jiang Ninghou took a deep breath, with a serious expression, and said: "I will persuade the emperor to give up all the acres, manor and other assets of the imperial family except for the imperial palace, but the imperial palace retains it and pays 200,000 taels of imperial palace every year.
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, touched his chin, and said, "Do you really value this council so much?"
Jiang Ninghou said: "Duke Dingguo should know that there are no secrets in this world. You said to so many people that it is impossible to fit tightly without leaking any wind."
Zhou Zheng had already thought about it, and said: "It is true that this council will override the cabinet in the future, but this will not make you pay such a high price? And, don't you think that the emperor will regain power one day ?"
Jiang Ninghou said: "We can't see what will happen in the future, we have to take care of our eyes... After all, Dingguo is not yet forty years old."
Zhou Zheng is completely astonished at this moment. These people may be expecting that Zhu Cihong will re-emerge as the dictator of the Ming emperor, but they are also betting, worrying that Zhou is Cao Cao, and the second generation of the Zhou family will become Cao Pi and stand on his own behalf.
It is completely in line with the style of these Ming Dynasty scholar-officials, always betting on multiple sides, riding on the fence, and ensuring that their interests can still be guaranteed amidst changes.
Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said, "Not enough."
Jiang Ninghou naturally knew, and said: "Your reform is still at the provincial government level. You can't go down at all. With our support, you can move forward quickly. With our strength, you will slowly see that there are only five seats. , You won’t lose money. The fields and silver will double again, and the salt, tea and iron will wait for them not to touch it."
Zhou Zheng said: "I want five million silver and ten thousand hectares of land. Don't count on this if you don't have this."
Jiang Ninghou sighed softly. After all, he didn't have any qualifications to negotiate, so he was left to slaughter him.
"I will tell them, but such a big price should be worth two servants." Jiang Ninghou said.
"One, the Ministry of Industry." Zhou Zhengdao.
Listening to Zhou Zheng's decisive tone, Jiang Ninghou nodded silently and said, "Okay."
With so many benefits, Zhou Zheng was in a good mood and said, "Let’s go, try my wife’s craftsmanship. She didn’t cook before but started after having children. She has been lazy for several years, but she can still eat..."
When Jiang Ninghou saw Zhou Zheng staying behind him, he could only laugh with him. He sighed. The unprofitable and friendly relationship before was gone forever.
At the dinner table, not only Zhou Zheng and Jiang Ninghou, but also Zhou Deshou.
The original little guy is now sixteen years old. He is a big and small boy. The person who proposed the marriage closed Zhou Ding's mouth happily.
In addition, Zhou Jiahua, who is not very anxious about going out on weekdays, also often attends various gatherings of women in Beijing, all to see his daughter-in-law.
The Zhou family is now in full swing, and I don't know how many people want to send their daughters in, so naturally they are trying their best to curry favor.
Zhou Deshou didn't notice anything. He spent the whole day in the army and wanted to make contributions like his second uncle.
Zhou Zheng also intends to train him and arranges many opportunities for him.
Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Deshang and knew that he was not Zhou Zheng's parent and child, so his enthusiasm was reduced a lot, but he also praised a few words.
Zhou Dezhen ignored this Jiang Ninghou who didn't know where he came from, his eyes were burning, and he looked at Zhou Zhengdao hopefully: "Second Uncle, is going to expedition to the north?"
Zhou Zheng was eating, and said, "Not this year. First try."
In a battle with Jianluo, the most important thing is the main decisive battle. If the main force of Jianluo cannot be solved in one battle, then this battle will become a war of attrition, which will be indefinite.
Obviously, the Jianluo would not fight the Ming Dynasty decisively. Even if they defeated the Ming Dynasty, they would lose a lot. Without the Ming Dynasty’s population and land, it would be extremely difficult for them to get over.
Before the Ming Dynasty’s strategy was to advance gradually, step by step, after more than two years, coupled with Huang Taiji’s death, the little emperor’s succession to the throne is indeed an excellent opportunity.
"Next year?" Zhou Dezhen grasped the key and said with his head stretched out.
Zhou Zheng looked at the little guy eagerly, thought for a while, and said: "You have to go, you have to persuade sister-in-law."
Zhou Deshou felt a headache when he thought of the old lady who had chosen him for his wife all day long, so he bowed her head and picked up rice.
Jiang Ninghou chuckled and did not interrupt.
Zhou Zheng glanced at Jiang Ninghou, had a drink with him, thinking about the South in his heart.
Yang Sichang will have to be familiar with the naval battle and Taiwan for a while, and perhaps wait until next year.
In other words, there may be two battles next year, and neither of them will end in a short time.
Zhou Zheng wondered whether he could sustain this situation with Daming. (End of this chapter)
