Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen had no intention of taking sides!

He knew that Song Huizong was good at balancing, but not good at it, or he was too lazy to govern the country.

If he firmly supports He Zhizhong, once He Zhizhong, Zheng Juzhong and their forces reach a level sufficient to check and balance Cai Jing, it will greatly affect his subsequent development and plans.

Therefore, what he wants is the three pillars of the imperial power, not the balance between the two!

Based on this ambition, he said in a matter-of-fact manner: "As far as I know, none of the neighboring countries produce tea except Dali.

Therefore, even if we spread the tea-frying method widely, we won’t suffer any losses!”

"What do you mean?"

He Zhizhong glared at Jiang Chen with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Song Huizong, Wang Fu, Wei Bozou and others were full of surprises.

Cai Jing smiled unexpectedly: "What Jiang Shaoqing said is true!

In this way, as long as we issue new tea guides, teach and allow people who buy new tea guides to make fried tea, we can fundamentally solve the problem of insufficient supply of fried tea.

In addition, it can also add another source of income to the national treasury, which can be said to be a multi-purpose achievement! Haha..."

While laughing, Cai Jing nodded to Jiang Chen with a complicated look and said, "Of course, members of the Royal Chamber of Commerce have the right to learn about tea-frying techniques, so they don't have to buy new teapots!"

Cai Jing said this, firstly, to reciprocate Jiang Chen's selflessness; and secondly, to avoid affecting the rich and nobles and reduce resistance when extracting money from businessmen.

After all, he had done the money-grabbing business of abolishing the old salt-and-tea-yin system more than once or twice. Even the Gu family where Gu Feihong, the commander of the Imperial City Department, was bankrupted by him and almost sold his pants. This shows how many methods he has.

ruthless.

"Well, since both Yuan Chang and Liangchen think this method is feasible, let's leave it to that."

When Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty heard that there was money to be made and that the rich and nobles were also picked out, he immediately agreed.

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Jiang Chen, and was extremely pleased with his approach of not taking sides or forming cliques.

But He Zhizhong's old face turned dark with anger, and he looked at Jiang Chen angrily, feeling like he had been betrayed.

Zheng Juzhong looked thoughtful.

Like He Zhizhong, he thought he had clearly seen Jiang Chen's purpose and needs, and believed that after Zhang Shangying resigned, he could easily manipulate and exploit Jiang Chen by taking advantage of the conflict between Jiang Chen and Cai Jing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Chen turned out to be an upright minister who "does not use private interests to abolish public service." This made him somewhat confused about Jiang Chen for a while.

The same person who couldn't understand Jiang Chen was Cai You.

However, Jiang Chen showed such magnanimity, which he, the eldest son of Cai Jing, liked to see, so he skipped the topic and said: "The official sage, if a new tea introduction is issued, it will definitely make up for the losses caused by the Jiangnan rebellion this year.

However, before that, the top priority for the court is to remove the old underground poles as soon as possible, otherwise it will always be a disaster!

The governor of Kaifeng stayed up all night yesterday and has made new progress. He is currently waiting for the announcement outside the palace, imploring the official to judge!"

Since Nie Shan was recommended by Cai You, Cai You was very willing to give Nie Shan a thumbs up without offending a lot of people.

If Nie Shan is allowed to directly jump into the cabinet because of this merit, it will also be a great help for him to compete for power in the future.

"Xuan!"

Song Huizong nodded.

Although the dispute over Yanyin has not come to an end yet, Jiangnan La is still alive, and the debate is now too disturbing, so Song Huizong instinctively skipped it.

After Nie Shan came in to pay his respects, he couldn't wait to ask: "Nie Aiqing, has the murderer been found out about the murder of Lan Daban?"

"Back at the official house, according to Meng Kui and others, Lan Tiju was not involved in Lao Gangzi's abduction and trafficking of women! However, he seemed to know the owner of the black brothel.

Perhaps it was this reason that caused him to lose his life!"

Nie Shan replied truthfully.

"Who is that boss? Has he been arrested and brought to justice?"

Song Huizong asked in a deep voice, his eyes full of murderous intent, and he had already made the decision to avenge Lan Congxi.

But to his disappointment, Nie Shan shook his head and said: "Except for Lan Tiju, none of the other arrested people have seen the boss, but... I just heard that his surname is Zhao."

"Last name is Zhao?"

Someone from the royal family?

When Cai Jing, He Zhizhong and others heard this, they couldn't help but change their expressions.

Jiang Chen also looked surprised, because Nie Shan did not communicate with him in advance, so he couldn't help but speculate on Nie Shan's true intention.

Cai You had known this result for a long time, so he was very calm. He just secretly observed the changes in Song Huizong's expression to judge his attitude towards those royal relatives, so as to make corresponding plans.

Song Huizong was so angry that his face turned green and he was very angry!

He thought to himself: No wonder Lao Gang dares to call himself the underground emperor. It turns out that the person behind it is from the royal family. What a courageous dog! He is simply despicable!

With a murderous intention, he gritted his teeth and said in a cold voice: "Nie Shan, check it out for me, check it hard! I want to know the specific name of that person!"

"I obey the decree!"

Nie Shan bowed and saluted very calmly.

Combining everyone's confessions and portraits, he has determined who is the boss behind the black brothel and informed Cai You, so there is no pressure.

But there was nothing trivial in the Tian family, so for the sake of caution, he decided to listen to Cai You and raise the matter in public without pursuing it. Instead, he informed Song Huizong privately through Cai You and let the officials handle it privately.

In this way, Song Huizong could not only vent his anger, but also preserve the reputation of the royal family.

But to achieve this goal of pleasing Song Huizong, we still need to find a scapegoat, so he continued:

"There is no need for the officials to be angry. Although Meng Kui and others said that the man's surname was Zhao, some people said that the man's real surname was Qu, and he changed his name to Zhao just to show off his power!

No matter what, I promise that the identity of the murderer will be identified within three days! The officials will just wait for the good news!"

"Okay! If Nie Aiqing can bring to justice the murderer of Lan Daban within three days, I will not hesitate to reward him!"

Song Huizong nodded to Nie Shan with great satisfaction. He liked this kind of capable and responsible minister. Unexpectedly, Nie Shan already knew the answer and just didn't tell him for the time being.

But Liang Shicheng and Tan Zhen knew the ways of being a courtier. Seeing Nie Shan's affirmation, they couldn't help but asked Huizong of the Song Dynasty:

"The officials, servants, and Lantiju will accompany you day and night. We have become brothers and sisters with each other.

Now that Lantiju has been killed by thieves, the slaves and maidservants have also come up with their own efforts and led their Xiang troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression, and I hope the officials will agree!"

They acted this way because, first, they were saddened by the death of a rabbit and a fox, and they sincerely wanted to bring the murderer to justice;

Another point is that he wanted to show the role of the Xiang Forbidden Army under his command. After performing meritorious services, he could ask Song Huizong to prevent him from being incorporated by Jiang Chen's Jimin Army.
