"Sir, Wu Haogu not only gave Wang Hou a good horse, but also sent him back to the inn. Wang Hou did not come to visit him when he arrived in Kaifeng Prefecture. Now he is fighting with Wu Haogu. Will it be..."

The incident of Wu Haogu and Wang Hou's friendship did not escape the suspicion of Cai Jing and his son. After the day, Cai You informed his father of the study.

In fact, Wang Hou was able to recover at Cai Jing's suggestion. Cai Jing realized that Zhao Ji had the ambition to open up the territory, so he wanted to make a handful of the soft persimmon, Hehuang and Tubo.

To move Hehuang Tubo, Wang Shao's son Wang Hou will naturally be used. He participated in the opening of Hehuang border twice, and he was also a long-time general who had been in the Western Army for many years.

In addition, although Wang Hou's father Wang Shao was very unpleasant in his later years, he would argue with everyone he met and complained a lot, but he was always the leader in the new party camp.

If your father is a new party, then your son should naturally be new!

So Cai Jing is now thinking about using Wang Hou to build him into a new generation of commander-in-chief of the Western Army.

But unexpectedly, Wang Hou did not have the ability of his father (referring to the Jinshi exam), but inherited his father's bad temper and did not know about flattery at all. After entering Kaifeng Prefecture, he did not go to Cai Jing's mansion to pay a visit to him, but it was not important to give him a gift. What was important was the attitude of giving gifts!

Attitude determines the camp!

What Cai Jing and his son did not expect was that Wang Hou did not come to Cai’s mansion to give gifts, but accepted Wu Haogu’s gifts. Who is Wu Haogu? Wu Haogu is a disciple of Su Dongpo, the leader of the old party, and his younger brother Wu Haowen is also the son-in-law of Han Zhongyan, another giant of the old party.

Wang Hou accepted the war horses given by Wu Haogu, wouldn’t he want to join the old party?

This is a traitor!

The new party has traitors!

"But isn't Wu Haogu's opposition to Kaituohe and Huangzhou?" Cai Jing frowned and asked. The discussion between Wu Haogu, Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu and Pan Xiao'an in the Zhuyuan was also reported to him by Cai You.

"Yes, he is against it! He advocated the development of sea routes and sent several boats and thousands of people to occupy islands and enclose land to build ports. Not only is it good on the map, it also saves money and labor."

"Then why did he get along with Wang Hou?" Cai Jing widened his eyes, "Wang Hou is an advocate of opening up the two states."

"Sir, isn't Wu Haogu so lucky to be close to the villain! The villain naturally needs to cater to the best..."

Cai Jing was stunned for a while, always feeling that his son was not saying this well. After a while, he said, "Where is Su Dongpo? Su Dongpo has also become a villain?"

Now Han Zhongyan has become the Three Imperial Lord, which means that the remaining Su Shi will have different opinions.

"Of course Su Dongpo will not become a villain, but he will be blinded by the villain Wu Haogu!"

Cai Jing smacked his lips and shook his head: "...A villain is always harder to deal with than a gentleman!"

Cai You nodded: "Yes, sir, there are more than Wu Haogu around Su Dongpo now, but also Pan Xiao'an, Gao Qiu, and Liang Shicheng..."

"Why is Liang Shicheng still there?" Cai Jing asked, "Isn't he an internal official?"

"The father of Liang Shicheng has an old friend with Su Dongpo. When Su Dongpo was exiled, he once gave a maid to Liang's father. Later, the maid was born under the term. Therefore, Liang Shicheng has always claimed that Su Shi became a son, but Su Dongpo did not deny it, so..."

"There is such a thing..." Cai Jing shook his head repeatedly, not knowing what to say.

"Sir, why don't you find a censor to study with a book?"

"See a book?"

"Since Su Dongpo colluded with the eunuch..." Cai You said, "This is a taboo for civil servants."

Cai Jing laughed: "If it were the Shenzong Dynasty, it might have been possible to defeat Su Dongpo because of this. But the current official family is a reasonable person... Su Dongpo was given a concubine because he was exiled from afar, and Liang Shicheng was so young that he had no help, so he entered the palace. Can Su Dongpo blame him or Liang Shicheng for this?"

"Sir, let's just let it go?"

"Forget it?" Cai Jing sneered, "Isn't only Wang Hou in my father's hands?" He paused, "And this Wang Hou is a martial artist after all, can he become a four-way manager?"

Cai You asked: "Who does dad want to use?"

Cai Jing said: "Use Tao Zili! Why didn't he go to Beijing to do it? Go and see him and ask him to offer a strategy to win the Western thief!"

"Here!"

The "Tao Zili" mentioned by Cai Jing is named Tao Jiefu, and he is the current deputy envoy of Shaanxi Transportation. He was a staff member of Zhang Jing earlier and had many plans. He was considered a civil servant who is more proficient in the military affairs of the Northwest.

Seeing his son turning around and leaving, Cai Jing called him again, "What is the public opinion in Kaifeng Shilin today?"

Cai You turned around and said to his father: "It's still very troublesome. Several major newspapers such as "Wenquxing", "Shilin", and "New Confucianism" are all about the importance of "civilization and military affairs" and "higher and inferiority of industry and commerce."

The argument about "the importance of civil and military affairs" was caused by the imperial military performance that was about to be held. The candidates who gathered with Kaifeng Prefecture all felt that "the official changed his mind". In addition to complaining privately, they also contributed to the three major newspapers of Kaifeng Prefecture, "Wenquxing", "Shilin" and "New Confucianism", calling on the saint Zhao Ji to change his mind.

The discussion on "the high and low industrial and commercial value" was caused by Zeng Bu and Jian Xuchen's proposal to establish JD.com and JD.com. This matter had nothing to do with "the sluts of industry and commercial matters", but somehow it was said that Jiehe Commercial City, which was controlled by merchants, was taken out to compare with JD.com led by scholars...

Cai Jing laughed: "The matter of 'the high and low business' should be slowed down first, and the matter of 'the importance of 'the importance of 'the importance of 'the importance of 'the importance of 'the heavy' of 'the heavy' should be discussed more."

"The boy understands."

It's late at night.

The night without moonlight seems particularly gloomy and depressing. However, Kaifeng Prefecture on the ground is still immersed in the joy and excitement of the coming New Year.

Fan Zhijin, who had changed his name to Fan Jin, put down the brush in his hand and began to check the majesty article he wrote in his own hand. This is a masterpiece criticizing businessmen for short-sighted and profit-oriented, and he wanted to submit two newspapers: "Shilin" and "New Confucianism".

Now behind the three largest newspapers in Kaifeng Prefecture, there is a political force! Among them, "Wenquxing" is of course the mouthpiece of the Saint Zhao Ji and the villain Wu Haogu.

"Shilin" was started by Fan Chunren's two sons who were mourning in Fanyuan, Luoyang. Of course, they did not pay for the money for running the newspaper, but was "led by" Xiang's Poly Business. Fan Zhijin's boss Pang Kuan also invested five thousand pieces of money into it.

As for "New Confucianism", it was run in Haizhou. The founder was "Lu Xiucai", and its main views were from the New Party and New Learning.

However, the old party's "Shilin" and the new party's "New Confucianism" are not completely opposite in terms of views. For example, on the two most popular topics of "civilization and military importance" and "prosperity and humble industry and commerce" recently, they are completely consistent...

Of course, literature is more important than martial arts! And industry and commerce... of course it is cheap!

Fan Zhijin's writing style is actually very good. If Wu Haogu reads this romance of great writing, he will probably feel that his business and business are really inferior and have no shame in seeing others...

"Master Fan, please invite me."

Fan Zhijin had just checked the typo, and a servant came outside the door to spread Pang Kuan's words.

“Here’s coming.”

Fan Zhijin responded, put away the paper and pen, and left his room, followed the servant who came to communicate with him to the bedroom of Pang Kuan and Pang Daguan.

Pang Kuan was a hero of Zhao Ji, and Zhao Ji was a good official in the official family. He did not mean to kill a donkey. Instead, he continued to let Pang Kuan become the eunuch who was known to the provincial governor of the inner court, which is commonly known as the chief eunuch.

The bedroom of this level of eunuchs is naturally magnificent. When Fan Zhijin arrived, the best incense had already burned in the four-corner stove, and a strange fragrance lingered in the room. There were also ground dragons in the room to keep warm. In the huge bedroom, it felt warm as if it was spring.

Bypassing a coral screen, I saw a fat and bloated old man leaning on the couch. Two beautiful servants kneeled on both sides of the old man and massaged the old man's thick legs with their slender hands.

Seeing Fan Zhijin coming in and saluted, Pang Kuan just smiled faintly: "Master Fan, the piece of white ground next to Yinan Bridge will be listed for sale at Poly Store next month... How much can you get it? Have you calculated?"

Yinan Bridge is located in the southwest corner of Kaifeng Prefecture City, and is considered a relatively remote place in Kaifeng Prefecture City. The store business has a piece of white land there, which is not too big. It was originally rented to a merchant as a pile-up yard. Recently, the lease expired, Taifu Temple and store business wanted to sell the land and cash out to build the Qionglin Palace for the official family.

Because Fan Zhijin has been writing articles to criticize the local business of the Republic, he also used his spare time to study the real estate industry in Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, he felt that the real estate project beside Yinan Bridge was very profitable... so he suggested that his boss Pang Kuan invest.

Pang Kuan was also drooling at the huge profits made by the Republican Bank in the real estate industry and wanted to get a share of the pie. So he immediately agreed to Fan Zhijin's suggestion and asked Fan Fuzi to handle it with full authority.

In fact, it is not difficult. Fan Zhijin is Pang Kuan's man! He took Pang Kuan's business card and directly contacted Zhu Xie, who was responsible for half of the "Dutingyi" housing construction project, and asked him to do the design and budget.

"It's already done." Fan Zhijin said, "As long as the land price does not exceed 500,000 yuan, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"500,000..." Pang Kuan muttered, "Our family has a spare money to invest. Fan Fuzi, is it difficult to do this real estate business?"

"It's not difficult, not difficult." Fan Zhijin smiled, "This is the best thing to do, it's just spending money to buy land... Once the land is obtained, the construction project can be contracted out. We just need to focus on it. Moreover, it's easy to sell the property. There is no house that cannot be sold until the house is built."

Pang Kuan nodded: "Master Fan, we don't know how to do business around us... You don't take the imperial examination anyway, so why not just leave it to you. Is it okay?"

It’s not that Fan Zhijin stopped taking the exam, but that he had not taken the Kaifeng Prefecture Examination...
