On summer nights, Kaifeng Prefecture is particularly lively. Walking on the wide Jinshui Street, you can only walk slowly, and from time to time you will be blocked by the long lines of car doors in front of you.

Wu Haogu originally thought that he would take Guo Yaoshi to Zhang Dun’s mansion to pay homage during the day, but he didn’t expect that just after noon, a Zhang Mansion clerk who spoke with a Fujian accent came, asking Wu Haogu to go again in the dark.

So he had to go to Christie's first and presided over a management meeting of Christie's. He listened to Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai reporting on Christie's business and financial situation respectively.

The business of Christie's is generally pretty good. There are no competitors in the two major businesses of singing, selling and picture albums yet, so it is basically making money while lying down. Of course, the problem is not without it. First of all, there are some struggles between several "houses" of Christie's. The main thing is to compete for investment and bonuses - now there are business departments such as accounting, personnel room, singing, selling, shopping mall room, album room, art room, escort room and miscellaneous room under the shopkeeper's room.

Among them, selling houses and album houses are departments that make a lot of money, while shopping malls and craft houses are departments that cost a lot but have no profit at present. The main contradiction arises between these four "houses".

First of all, Mi Youren kept stuffing people into the craft room, and most of them were used to edit "university textbooks". When the editing of "university textbooks" was almost completed, they were preparing to find someone to engrave and print. Moreover, Mi Youren was a young master and had no feelings about spending money. He paid high wages for his subordinates and had very high requirements for woodblock printing. Therefore, spending money was like flowing water!

At first, Su Dalang saw Wu Haogu's face, and Mi Youren gave as much as he wanted. Anyway, it was easy for Christie's to make money. But later, other "houses", especially those who made a lot of money, were not happy with singing, selling and albums, and they also asked for a salary increase and benefits... As a last resort, Su Dalang had to start reducing Mi Youren's expenses, but Mi Youren gave up again and had not been to Christie's for many days.

The situation of the mall house is similar to that of the craft house. Hua Manshan and Huang Zhisheng wanted to build their own engineering team, so they poached people everywhere with high salaries. Moreover, the construction of the three-story apartment building also cost too much - this is not that Huang Zhisheng was generous, but that this house uses a lot of "new technologies" and is not very mature and requires experiments. In addition, the engineering team that Huang Zhisheng pieced together is actually not very useful and is still in the running-in period, so many problems arise in the process of building the house.

So Su Dalang and Zhang Xizai also started to get stuck in the neck of the mall, causing a lot of disputes again.

Finally, the problem of "related transactions" between the album and the singing and selling houses began to argue. It turned out that the singing and selling houses wanted to advertise on the album "The Courtesan", while the album wanted to ask the singing and selling houses to help "secretly sing" the advertising space.

However, after working together once, both houses thought they were "at a loss". Because the album room "wasted" took out the advertising space of the "Courtessy" album to be advertised on real estate advertisements, while the singing and selling houses "wasted" organized the singing and selling of the advertising space...

In short, all departments have small plans and want to take advantage of them and get a lot of bonus commissions. This is normal.

In Wu Haogu's view, the main problem lies in Christie's' management being relatively extensive. Different businesses are mixed together to eat big pots, and they don't have a budget to spend money. There is also an editor of the "university textbook" that will definitely lose money.

It seems that it has to take some time to adjust Christie's management model. It is time to turn each business department into a subsidiary company independently.

In addition, should the two major sectors of the Sea Trade and Free Trade Market be placed under the Battle of Christie's, and it also needs to be carefully considered - Christie's does not necessarily have to become the "Chicie's Republic"?

Guo Yaoshi, Luohanmai, and four big and thick Bohai and female heroes all rode behind Wu Haogu on horseback.

Well, of course, Yaoshi Guo did not follow Wu Haogu alone to go south, otherwise he would have been killed by Brother Zhong and Lin Chong...

Perhaps in order to show the courage of the Bohai people and the Naomi Nao, Guangming Jun specially selected four short, strong Bohai and Naomi Naomi and followed Guo Yaoshi to the Song Dynasty. Two of the Naomi Naomi were also yellow-headed and straight-headed, yellow-haired and blue-eyed barbarians, with two braids with money-style rat-tail style, and were as thick as a mana.

With these four guys, especially the two yellow-headed women who were protecting Guo Yaoshi, Wu Haogu did not dare to act rashly, so he had to bring him to Kaifeng Mansion obediently.

When you arrive at Kaifeng Prefecture, you have to kill people, especially if you kill foreign envoys, then don’t think about it. Wu Haogu is not interested in dying with Guo Yaoshi.

"Brother Guo." When the group was about to arrive at the prime minister's mansion, Wu Haogu suddenly attacked Guo Yaoshi behind him and called him to his side. The two of them walked together.

"When I meet my husband later, I must let him know how strong a woman is, and I also want to tell him that the son of Nao Wanyan will soon be unified in the son of Nao. In addition, your Bohai Sea is not a country after all, and it is impossible for our dynasty to give gold, silver and silk to publicly, so we can only provide funding in the name of trade. Have you ever told you about this?"

Guo Yaoshi said respectfully and politely: "Dianzhi is relieved. Before I left Yanjing, I have already explained that I have brought a letter from the King of Swords with me, so I can present it to Mr. Zhang in person."

There is actually a letter from the Sword King!

Wu Haogu didn't know about this before... It seems that the people of Bohai didn't treat Wu Haogu as a dish. But this is also a good thing, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

"Okay, it would be better to have the letter from the King of Swords." Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, and without saying anything more, then led Guo Yaoshi and others to Zhang Dun's prime minister's mansion.

The soldiers guarding the gate of Zhang Dun's prime minister's mansion were the soldiers of Kaifeng's mansion, but they were not as ambitious as they were commonly seen in TV dramas in later generations, but instead squatted under the eaves of the door and dozed off.

Wu Haogu got off his horse, tied the reins to the horse tying pillar, and then went forward and said: "I am the official in the right ban hall, Wu Haogu, who made an appointment with Butler Zhang, and I will report it."

"Wait."

The Xiangjun, who was standing guard in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was also well-informed. A small right squad hall was not in their eyes at all. A veteran of the Xiangjun took the post handed by Wu Haogu and slowly turned around and walked into a small door next to the closed Prime Minister's Mansion.

Wu Haogu and Guo Yaoshi waited under the eaves of the prime minister's mansion for a while before they saw an elderly old man. He looked at the people outside the door and asked in a Fujian accent: "I wonder which one is Mr. Murong?"

Wu Haogu stepped forward and bowed, and said with a smile: "Old man, the lower official is the right ban hall, Wu Haogu."

"Oh, Wu Dianzhi." The old housekeeper of the Zhang family smiled and returned a bow, and asked again, "Is Mr. Murong here?"

"No." Wu Haogu said with a wry smile, "He is a great scholar in the Liao Kingdom, and he always has to be arrogant. However, the envoys from the Bohai people have arrived and they have also brought their king's letters..."

"Don't say it, don't say it." The old housekeeper said with a smile, "Then let me do it, don't ask my husband to wait anxiously."

...

"Oh? Mr. Murong went to Huaxian Temple? He wanted me to come to see you?"

Zhang Dun tapped the table gently, and seemed a little unhappy. He was not a "virtuous prime minister" who respected the virtuous and humble, but a treacherous minister who looked down upon himself and looked down upon him. Although Murong Wangyou was also a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom, how could a Jinshi in the Liao Kingdom be compared with a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty? Moreover, Zhang Dun also passed the Jinshi twice, which was truly knowledgeable!

Facing Zhang Dun’s question, Wu Haogu said, “Mr. Murong is well-known in the Liao Kingdom. The Xiangshan Academy he opened is recognized as the best academy in the Liao Kingdom. Many children of the Yanyun clan are studying there, so they have a high opinion of themselves.”

"Xiangshan Academy? What are you teaching very basic knowledge?"

"Teaching the Six Arts," Wu Hao Ancient Road, "is five rituals, six music, five archery, five guilds, six books, nine numbers, etc. However, the "Yu" is not about driving a car and riding a horse and fighting with horses, and the focus of the five rituals is also military rituals."

In fact, the "ritual" in the Six Arts does not mean civilized and polite, nor does it mean etiquette, but a hodgepodge including systems and laws. The military rituals are a combination of military law and military arts.

"Oh, have you seen his students?" Zhang Dun was not a nerd who was studying hard. His nephew Zhang Yuan was a good archer, and he could do it a few times by himself.

"See you," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "and brought back a Zhao family who had served as an official in the Liao Dynasty's guards' personal army. He was his student, and he was very capable."

"Zhao family?"

"He is the descendant of Duke Wei of Zhao in Liao."

"The descendants of Zhao Zan?"

"Yes." Wuhao Ancient Road, "Zhao family in Zhenzhou ranked second among the four Yan families, and most of their children served in the guards' personal army."

"Then was this Zhao family sent by the Zhao family in Zhenzhou?" Zhang Dun became a little interested.

Wu Haogu shook his head and said, "No, he is... a gangster. Because his father died, he would not let his surname be Zhao, so he went to Yanshan and became a thief."

"What's wrong with having a child with evil?" Zhang Dun frowned. He was also a villain, and he was not a great minister.

Wu Haogu smiled, "The Liao Kingdom has a world-class choice system, and the sons of the evil spirit cannot be compared with the legitimate sons... So there are many unsuccessful sons, and some of them are very capable. This Zhao family's son has good skills, and it is not difficult for a Wu Jinshi in our court."

"Is that true?" Zhang Dun raised his eyebrows. He knew what the children of the Zhao family in Kaifeng were, and it is still worth exploring what the Zhao family in the Liao Kingdom looked like.
