A light four-wheeled carriage ran over the bluestone road outside the Huaxian Temple outside Kaifeng City.

The two-wheeled carriages that Wu Haowen rode were carefully crafted by the skilled craftsman of the General Supervisor, following the style of the gold and silver carriage brought by Ji Yi from Haizhou. The best wood was selected, and the workmanship was very fine. The roof was inlaid with carvings, and the body was painted with color paintings. The wheels were also nailed with thin iron sheets produced by Jiehe Shangshi. They rolled over the slightly uneven bluestone ground and made a gurgling sound, but they drove very smoothly. In Kaifeng Prefecture, there were not a few high-grade four-wheeled carriages produced by the General Supervisor. In addition to Zhao Ji's own use, they were rewarded to several princes and prime ministers. Wu Haowen, the Hailu Shuaisi, also got one.

It seems that the official’s favor for his own family has not diminished at all!

Wu Haowen closed his eyes in the carriage and focused his mind. He thought about what the official said in the Qionglin Palace yesterday that he wanted to personally drive to the Wu family mansion by the Jinshui River after Wu Haogu arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture.

For ministers, it is an incredible honor to be able to take over in their own residence!

However, this honor did not make Wu Haowen's mind. Zhao Ji was familiar with the Jinshuihe Mansion of the Wu family, and I don't know how many times he had been. This time, he was just an open schedule and made a gesture to tell all the civil and military officials that he still trusted Wu Haogu very much.

But no matter how you look at this attitude, it means that there is no silver here!

Wu Haowen was a Jinshi in Yuanfu for three years. He has been in the officialdom for ten years. Although there have been people who have been guarding him and have not experienced any real storms. But have you never eaten pork and have you seen pigs running? The storms in the officialdom are strange, and Wu Haowen is familiar with it. How come you don’t know that being a subordinate must always understand the truth of the superiority?

Regarding this dispute between Song and Liao, the emperor is to compromise... If his brother spent two or three million to send Yelu Yanxi away in private, the government would definitely be able to treat him as usual.

But he took out a method that made the official family feel so distressed that he had to grit his teeth and accept it. The method was good, but the official family was really not so bold!

This ten thousand silk... is a thorn that prickly till the top of Zhao Ji’s heart!

While sighing, the carriage was already outside the immortal view and stopped abruptly.

"Erlangjun, I've seen the painting immortal."

A Yuan Sui shouted Wu Haowen out of his thoughts. Wu Haowen came to meet Wu Haogu, who had just arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture last night.

Because of the "military emergency", Wu Haogu did not rush on the road slowly this time, but came day and night. When he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, it happened to be at night. So he did not enter the city, but went directly to Huaxian Temple outside Kaifeng Prefecture to rest.

It was only in the morning that people sent people to the city to inform Wu Haowen, Su Dalang, Zhang Zeduan and others, and asked them to go out of the city to meet.

When Wu Haowen arrived, Wu Haogu was discussing with Su Dalang, the shopkeeper who stayed in Kaifeng Prefecture, his disciple Zhang Zeduan, and Mi Youren, who was mourning at home, how to develop Jiehe Bank and JD Bank.

This 100 million orders will not only promote Jiehe Commercial City to undergo a round of industrial upgrading, from a free trade market that focuses on trade to an introductory industrial city. It will also enable Jiehe Commercial City and JD Commercial City to be upgraded to a financial center.

This is a transfer and transfer of tens of millions of funds!

If we can establish a relatively primary banking and financial system in Jiehe Commercial City and JD.com and absorb these funds, then the capitalist leadership position of Jiehe Commercial City and JD.com will be completely established.

This capitalism must have a special industry to manage and operate capital, right? If it is operated well, not only will the cost of capital be reduced, but the efficiency will also be improved. It can even end the silk standard of Jiehe Market and change it to a more stable gold and silver standard system.

As the Song Dynasty "owned the four seas", overseas trade will continue to import gold and silver. With enough gold and silver, it will be possible to mint gold and silver currency and implement the gold and silver standard.

While the three of them were having a good time, Guo Xiaoxiao led Wu Haowen in from outside the study room, "Master, the second master is here."

"Second brother, come and sit down." Wu Haogu smiled and greeted his brother who was getting fatter and fatter, "How are the family? How many have you given birth to a few more brothers, brothers and sisters? And the third brother in our family is about to get started? Are you going to study for a new school or a nostalgic school?"

Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen have been competing for children in recent years. Last year, Oliga, Luohanmai, Du Wenyu and Guo Xiaoxiao both had children for Wu Haogu. Oliga gave birth to a boy named Tiexin. Luohanmai gave birth to a daughter Xianniang, Du Wenyu and Guo Xiaoxiao both gave birth to sons, named Wu Tiean and Wu Daoren respectively.

Wu Haowen's "achievements" are better! His wife and concubine Ji is more than Wu Haogu, with a total of more than twenty people. He was very young when he entered the house. It was a good time to give birth to more than twenty people. However, there are only fifteen people who are still alive, and there is one more than one for Wu Haogu.

"I have given birth to two more girls, so I have to accompany you to a lot of dowry." Wu Haowen smiled bitterly, "But there are still three more pregnant again, and I don't know if I can add a few more guys... As for the third brother, the official family has issued an order to let him go to Zishan Hall to study with him."

"What? The third brother went to study with his companion? How is that possible?"

Wu Haogu was stunned and thought: It would be fine if my son or Wu Erlang's legitimate son entered Zishantang for the prince to accompany him, but we were both very powerful. But how could Wu Haode be his turn? His father is just a small Beijing official!

Can you still follow your brother in this matter? No, if you follow your father, you will be able to be like your father. Now Lao Wu is lively and probably has been walking outside. His body has been exercised. He is much stronger than before. He also raises a concubine in Suzhou City with several rooms... How can the third brother be like your father?

"Brother, that's the blessing of the third brother. We can't envy you. Let him go. Maybe he will be a high-ranking official in twenty years." Wu Haowen quickly changed the subject, "By the way, this time the official family gave our family a fat and shortage! Ten thousand yuan...Brother, how much do you plan to make?"

How much to save!?

Wu Haogu was even more stunned. This didn't sound like Wu Haowen said at all! Wu Haowen was a clean official. Even when he was sloppy in Xiuzhou, he had never done corrupt or dirty work. Wu Chengzhi did it in Suzhou, so he didn't need Wu Haowen to do it himself. Wu Haowen just wanted to "limit his parents". Could it be that there were too many concubines and children in the family and not enough expenses? By the way, it must be that he had too many sons and wanted to buy a house in Kaifeng Prefecture.

It’s so stressful! If you are a brother, you have to help me with this.

"Second brother," Wu Haogu looked at his younger brother, "Are you... tight on your hands? Are you going to buy a house? You have to use money to tell your brother that you can still get hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Wu Haowen shook his head, "Brother, what are you saying? Will I be short of money? The minister of Hailu Shuaishou alone has 30,000 yuan a year, and the husbands in the court don't have this number."

Wu Haogu thought: The housing prices in Kaifeng Mansion are still incomparable! You have so many sons, and you may lose it if you give a "Shiku Gate" by one person.

"Brother, I mean you have to get a little bit," Wu Haowen frowned, "I have to have a look of retreating bravely..."

Now Wu Haogu understands what's going on.

"You want me to be self-deprecating?"

"Not a word," Wu Haowen shook his head, "Brother, you are not a clear stream, so it's nothing to buy a little bit? The key is to buy a wide range of luxury houses in Kaifeng Prefecture and buy more beautiful women. Only in this way can the government rest assured..."

"He's no longer relieved?"

Wu Haowen sighed and gave Su Dalang a wink. Fatty Su smiled and said, "Shuai Xuan, you know the thoughts of the government better than us... It's so ten thousand! If he doesn't say anything about his face, his heart hurts!"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "If it's two or three million yuan, the government should regret it after a decade or two."

The money for rectifying Hebei’s defense will not be spent in vain. As long as the money is spent on the blade, the Jingkang shame should not happen. The Northern Expedition will be much smoother in the future.

Wu Haogu's eldest disciple Mi Youren also said: "Teacher, Uncle Master's words do make sense! Even if the official family is not unhappy, you have to leave a way out... It is the custom of our dynasty to release military power from wealth and honor. If you make some preparations, he can rest assured.

It’s better to ask the official for a piece of land, and you can also ask for a few beauties, that’s how it’s better!”

"Second brother, Yin brother, Dalang," Wu Haogu also knew that his brothers, Mi Youren and Su Dalang were kind-hearted, "I will have someone to do what you said... We have to learn from Wang Jian, so don't make the officials suspicious."

It would be great if you could learn Wang Jian’s level! Wu Haowenxin said: Wang Jian has achieved success in destroying Chu. Brother, can you destroy the Khitan?

While several people were talking, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and then Guo Xiaoxiao's announcement: "Master, Grand Secretary Liang is coming from the palace."

The Grand Official Liang was Liang Shicheng. He came to Xuanwu to enter the palace with Zhao Ji's oral order.

When Wu Haogu followed Liang Shicheng to Chongzheng Hall, Emperor Gengsi Zhao Ji and Zhang Shuye, Wang Bing and Ji Yi surrounded the sand table in the side hall to study military affairs.

As Emperor Genghis, of course he has to understand military affairs!

But what he and Zhang Shuye, Wang Bing and Ji Yi were puzzled by the fact that Yelu Yanxi had clearly stationed in Xijin Prefecture, so why didn't he go south to approach Jiehe Shangshi? And not only did he not go south, even the trade in Jiehe Shangshi was not interrupted...

What was the idea of ​​the Emperor of Liao?

Do you want to continue to negotiate for money, or accumulate strength in Xijin Mansion and prepare to succeed in one go?

Or, just wait until winter, and the border river freezes before heading south? Then why did he send troops so early?

Just when several people were puzzled, Wu Haogu was taken into the hall by Liang Shicheng.
Chapter completed!
