Chapter 3 Choice (8)

"Hmm... um?" Everyone's eyes lit up at first. After seeing the person who spoke clearly, the expression on their faces quickly turned into suspicion.

"Zhao Yanshou was Yelu Deguang's old minister. Yelu Ruan's incorrect position may not be as respected as Yelu Deguang. And the Youzhou generals are not the only one who is the dominant Zhao Yanshou." Ning Ziming, who was making suggestions, continued to make careful and careful additions without any awareness.

"You'd better clarify your own affairs first!" Yang Guangyi, the commander of the cavalry, looked at Ning Ziming with dislikes, and stood up first, reminding him coldly. "I'm confused all day long, and I can even take care of calculating others!"

"Hahaha..." A low laughter immediately sounded in the conference hall. Except for Han Chongyun, Ning Caichen and other few people, the vast majority of other civil and military officials looked at Ning Ziming with their eyes squinted, shaking their heads while laughing.

Looking at the Jiedushi Zelu, except for those who have just defected recently, no matter how many other civil and military officials, I don’t know that Ning Ziming’s head was smashed and missed? Although everyone would not really treat him as a fool, they would never think that he was a resourceful person. When everyone was helpless, he, the least intelligent person, suddenly jumped out and talked loudly. If he was not sensational, what was he doing?

However, beyond everyone's expectations, Chang Si, who was sitting in the head coach, did not think that Ning Ziming's performance was ridiculous at all. He tapped the table with his fingers a few times and pondered in a low voice, "Well..., this statement seems to make sense. Why didn't I expect it before?"

"Ah--" At this moment, the smiles of the civil and military officials instantly froze on their faces. In particular, Yang Guangyi, the commander of the cavalry, continued to stand in place and find fault with Ning Ziming, and escaped back to his original position in shame. He stared at the tip of his boots with his eyes stiffly, and was ashamed of embarrassment.

"Zhao Yanshou's adoptive father Zhao Dejun died at the hands of the Khitans. The reason why Yelu Deguang valued him was a helpless move. After all, Han Zhigu has been in charge of the Khitan Haner Division for many years and has many disciples. If Han Kuang's successor inherits his father's business, it is very risky." He knocked on the table a few more times, and Chang Si continued to add in a low voice. His eyes were deep and cold, but he did not disperse the slightest part of everyone.

Han Zhigu was the first Khitan Zhinan Privy Council and the first general in charge of the Han'er Department. He had a great influence among the Khitan Han army in various parts of Youyan. His two sons, Han Kuangsi and Han Kuangyi, were both civil and military, and made great contributions to the Khitans' southern invasion.

According to the Khitan rules, after Han Zhigu died, his position should have been inherited by his eldest son Han Kuangsi. However, Yelu Deguang vigorously supported Zhao Yanshou. It was obvious that he was using Zhao Yanshou's hands to weaken the influence of the Han family in Youyan, in order to prevent these "slaves" from being too powerful and would eventually ride on the master's head.

"After careful calculation, Zhao Yanshou has been in charge of the Zhinan Privy Council of the Khitans for more than ten years. The number of disciples and disciples in the army is no less than Han Zhigu at that time." Chang Si's son-in-law and deputy commander of the guards' personal army, Han Chongyun, had always had the ability to learn from it. He quickly stepped forward a few steps, blocked Yang Guangyi with his body, and added loudly.

This sentence, like a torch in the middle of the night, instantly illuminated everyone's eyes. Everyone immediately took the conversation and talked, "Indeed, Zhao Yanshou has been in the Khitan Southern Privy Council for so many years, and Yelu Ruan may not be relieved. Now he has been defeated and humiliated the country, and his strength has been greatly damaged. It is just right to find an excuse to replace him."

"Well, it turns out that Zhao Yanshou was used to balance the Han family. Now, it's time to balance Zhao Yanshou with others!"

"Hey, we often say that if we are not of our race, our hearts will be different. In the eyes of the Khitans, are Zhao Yanshou and Han Zhigu and his son, also different? I really don't know what they are trying to do!"

“…”

Amid the noise of noisy discussion, Yang Guangyi quietly moved his footsteps and escaped back to his original position with the cover of Han Chongyun's body. After wiping away the oily sweat from his face, he looked at Ning Ziming and felt that this person was more and more disgusting. He was actually stupid and pushed such a smart person into the gutter.

The commander of the infantry army, Liu Qingyi, had a close personal relationship with Yang Guangyi. Seeing that he always looked at Ning Ziming with a knife, he couldn't help but smile and said loudly: "Then Han Kuangsi and Han Kuangyi brothers, of course, I hope to take Zhao Yanshou and replace him. But the question is, how can our people put Zhao Yanshou's handle and a large sum of money into the hands of the Han brothers without knowing it? After all, the battle between the two of them and Zhao Yanshou can only be considered internal struggles. But for their brothers, we are foreign enemies who are just a false exchange!"

"Hiss--!" As soon as the words fell, the lively discussions around him were immediately cold. The civil and military men quickly closed their mouths, turned their eyes to Ning Ziming, waiting for him to give an answer.

"You don't have to give the handle. As long as you spread it out in Youzhou, if the Han brothers are willing, they will naturally get it!" Ning Ziming felt embarrassed at all, smiled slightly, and said loudly. "As for money, the Han brothers, can they live only by the salary given by the Khitans?"

"Uh!" Everyone was surprised when asked, and then they shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Who said that Ning Ziming was beaten to death? If the fools were as smart as him, everyone would probably be worse than the fools.

Since the Han Dynasty, honest and dedicated to the public has been the most basic moral integrity of officials. However, officials have many social engagements and high expenses at home. No matter how high the salary the court gives, they will definitely not be enough to spend. If they do not accept bribes, the only way to make money is to interfere in various trade operations.

Since ancient times, Central Plains has emphasized agriculture and neglected commerce. Officials and their relatives must not come forward to do business. Therefore, various adaptations came into being. For example, behind-the-scenes shareholders, others held on their behalf, insidious investment, and mutual assistance from fellow villagers, all kinds of things are all there.

Many of the people present, who have been an official for more than five years, are proficient in this. Thinking about the fact that the Han family of Youzhou is as big as that of the local Han family, there are probably countless industries. However, on the surface, no one can tell which shops are named Han.

After understanding this festival, if you want to give money to the Han family, it will immediately become extremely simple. As long as Chang Si's caravan can connect with the Han family's store, the two parties will set up a group to do business. The more you lose, the more you will make. The gods and ghosts will not know, the Han brothers will make a fortune out of thin air.

"Even if we don't take the initiative to send money to the Han family and find some brothers to give gifts to the Khitan nobles under the name of the Han family brothers, the latter would not be able to turn the gifts out." Seeing that Ning Ziming's popularity has appeared enough today, Ning Caichen, the new treasurer, was afraid that he would show off in the forest, so he smiled and took a few steps forward and added loudly. "When he accepted the gift, who would verify whether this thing was given by the Han brothers?"
