Chapter 88 Major Shareholders of Hedong Company

Zhao Cheng and Bai Pu chatted all morning, and almost everything was discussed. The two of them were also excited, as if this achievement had been completed.

It was not until noon that they were hungry and putting their backs on their backs. Bai Pu and Zhao Cheng made an appointment to see His Majesty in the afternoon and ask questions about the salt administration. If it goes well, they will ask the representative of the wealthy businessman to meet in the evening.

Zhao Cheng agreed to the tribute of Bai Pu on the spot, and left his map, planner and two "stones" to Zhao Cheng, and then went to work hard.

Zhao Cheng, who had sent Bai Pu away, slapped his head and remembered that he was going to see Zhao Gao. He quickly packed up his things and took Bai Pu's bunch of "treasures" to his brother Zhao Gao's house.

On the other hand, Zhao Gao finally squeezed out time today and wanted to have a meal with his brother, but he started to clean up early in the morning but couldn't wait to see Zhao Cheng come.

As noon approached, Zhao Gao was already angry and sent his subordinates to "invite" Zhao Cheng. As a result, when his subordinates arrived, they saw Bai Pu coming out, they immediately felt that things were in trouble.

You should know that as Zhao Gao’s confidant, he has seen Zhao Gao scold his own sect officials more than once to stay away from Bai Pu.

Now this business official who made a fortune by making a fortune and gained popularity and witnessed the emergencies has actually come out of the lord's younger brother's house, and he is still smiling while walking with joy?

The subordinates had to think about the worst, that is, Zhao Cheng deviated from his lord's will and was very close to Bai Pu, which would probably be detrimental to his master!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sweat and quickly turned around and wanted to go back to report the news. At this time, Zhao Cheng happened to come out and saw him at a glance.

Zhao Cheng raised his hand and said, "That night... the pot, did your brother ask you to call me? I happened to have something for him to show you, come and take it for me!"

"Wild Fox, sir. The young one was indeed sent by the master. But..." Before the wild fox finished speaking, the things in Zhao Cheng's hand were pressed over. Although it was not very heavy, there were still many fragments.

"Okay, then let's go quickly. I have a lot of things to talk to my brother." Zhao Cheng said as he walked.

The wild fox is Zhao Gao's retainer. Although he was dissatisfied with Zhao Cheng's use of him as a servant, there was nothing to say. He thought that there would be a good show when he arrived at the mansion.

Because the houses of the Zhao brothers were very close, Zhao Cheng and his two soon arrived at Zhao Gao's mansion. The concierge knew each other and naturally would not stop them. Zhao Cheng went all the way to the lobby.

At this time, Zhao Gao's anger had already subsided a lot, but when he saw Zhao Cheng coming in, he still didn't give him a good look. He raised his eyebrows and said directly: "Do you still know how to come?"

Zhao Cheng bowed with guilty face, reached out to take the things from the wild fox's hand, put them on Zhao Gao's desk, and said, "Brother, come and take a look at these things, you won't be angry after seeing them."

Zhao Gao stepped forward with a skeptical look, frowned as soon as he looked at it, and his face turned pale. He didn't know anything else on the table, but he still knew a map of Shanxi. Zhao Gao even guessed the possible origin of this map.

Zhao Gao's tone turned cold and guessed: "Did you meet Bai Pu? Have you promised to support him?"

Zhao Cheng also knew that his brother was unwilling to be involved in the Zhao family, so he gave him a "vaccination" early, but he still chose to support Bai Pu, so it was impossible for Zhao Gao not to be angry.

Zhao Cheng nodded apologetically at first, and then explained: "Brother, I have not forgotten your teachings, but we should really participate in Bai Pu's affairs this time."

"Hmph!" Zhao Gao snorted coldly and knelt down to his seat. He didn't believe that Zhao Chengzhen, who had been stupid since childhood, could have any insights, and he didn't believe that Bai Puzhen, who could not come up with any actual benefits, could make a Hedong situation.

Zhao Cheng knew his brother's temper, and Zhao Gao's temperament was probably only showing it to Zhao Cheng.

So Zhao Cheng didn't explain much, and directly arranged the things on the table and said, "This map of Shanxi Bai Pu divided him into eight pieces, and each piece analyzed the pros and cons.

He also foreseeed that after I took office, I would adopt conservative policies similar to those of Huang Lao Taoism, so that Hedong would slowly recover his vitality.

However, he also pointed out the disadvantages of doing this. First, it is that it cannot effectively merge and transform the Koreans, and second, it will waste too much time. In addition, it will analyze His Majesty's ideas. If we want to annex Hedong in five or ten years, we will miss many opportunities.

Ten years later, these political achievements will appear dull. Even if our status is stable, there is no possibility of further development. So for the future of the Zhao family, I think we should give it a try.

Moreover, Bai Pu is about to enter the palace to ask His Majesty about the Hedong Salt Administration. If he can really let go of a hole, then no one in the Qin Dynasty would want to get a share, right? Is this so-called Hedong company still not successful?"

After listening to it, Zhao Gao pondered for a moment, as if he was weighing the pros and cons, to see if it was worth taking action by himself. Zhao Cheng seemed to be a little shaken and hit the railway while it was hot:

"Brother, you were the most considerate person around Your Majesty before. Do you think Your Majesty would agree? If Your Majesty really agreed, the future of Hedong would be very different.

If our brothers really participate, will they still be afraid of those old nobles with His Majesty’s support? Don’t forget that they never had medicine to accept our meaning, just what can I do if I find a noble woman?”

Zhao Gao was stunned after hearing this. It was true that although their Zhao family was the Zhao State Office and even had relatives with Qin Zheng, they were still in the dilapidated house where they were washing clothes and making a living in the Hidden Palace?

How could the real nobles treat them as their own people one day? Even if they offend these people, as long as they climb high enough and have His Majesty’s protection, what’s so scary?

"By the way, brother, Bai Pu also told me that there is this kind of stone carbon in Hedong, which is a good fuel for iron smelting, and can even be further refined into something called charcoal, which can significantly improve efficiency.

If the development of Hedong is done well, your weapon production ability of Jiangzuo Shaofu will increase exponentially, and the status of the elder brother Taiwei will be much stronger." Zhao Cheng added here.

At this time, Zhao Gao also thought that the model workshop in Shanglinyuan was just using stone carbon and coke to smelite? It seemed that the output was really much higher.

In this way, Qin Zheng really had a big plan for Hedong, and even used a system that was very different from that of the Qin Dynasty to manage Hedong!

Thinking of this, Zhao Gao suddenly realized that Qin Zheng's methods were linked:

Introduce stone carbon enhancement technology - build more workshops to expand production - increase demand for stone carbon increase - new method to develop Hedong output more stone carbon - increase industrial and commercial status investment Hedong - further increase technology and output

Zhao Gao, who had figured it out, suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha... I'm really confused. I thought Bai Pu was making a fortune. In fact, His Majesty is his biggest shareholder. It's just that His Majesty is not convenient to stand up directly!"

"Then?" Zhao Cheng tentatively said.

Zhao Gao suddenly stood up, his eyes as bright as stars, and he spoke: "Support, as long as His Majesty supports us, we will support us unconditionally!"
