Brother Song Taizu

Chapter 86 Zhao Guangyi, the Overtime Maniac

"Third brother, why did you come to see me?"

In Kaifeng Mansion, Zhao Guangyi was really surprised to see Zhao Guangmei actually coming to find him.

"I know you must be working overtime at this time. Have you eaten? I'll give you something delicious to eat? You don't know yet? I have bought Fan Building. It will be the asset of our firm from now on."

Zhao Guangyi said with a smile: "Shi Shouxin has already come here in the afternoon and gone through the formalities. You guys can really spend money randomly, but who allows my third brother to make money? I heard that this year the business bank made more money than the finance and tax department. Much more, the dividends alone almost exceed the national salt tax.”

"Hahaha, don't you still have 40% of it, second brother? This year's net profit is quite a lot. I spent 400 yuan to buy a fan building. Of the remaining 200 million yuan, I will keep two million yuan to pay for it next year. Get something new, and there will be about 10,000 million left to distribute, and you will have [-]+ in your hands, are you happy?"

Zhao Guangyi smiled and shook his head and said: "For us, what is the use of money? If you leave it to me, what else can I do except save it for inventory? Then why not give it to the elder brother and let him deposit it in the national treasury? Things only have value when they are spent. You know how to spend money better than me, so I think it would be better for you to help me spend this money."

"Second brother, it's so exciting."

"Hehehe, sit down, I'll order some food and drinks for you. I heard that you were all involved in wine and sex yesterday? Then you can have some drinks with me?"

"Okay, then just drink it, but don't dare to drink it too much. I just started drinking, and I still can't drink enough. I'll drink it in two sips. If I want soju, I'd rather drink soju."

"You just started drinking soju and you started to like soju? You have a drunken tongue, just like your elder brother."

As he spoke, he muttered in a low voice: "I don't think soju is any good, how can it be compared to Bamboo Leaf Green or Jinsi and Meishou."

But he still took out a small bottle of soju from the cabinet to drink. After all, he couldn't compare to his younger brother in other aspects. He couldn't drink and his 14-year-old younger brother seemed to be a coward, right?

While pouring wine for Zhao Guangmei, he kept talking, "You will definitely not come to me if nothing happens, so what's the matter?"

"I want to buy a piece of land from you. It doesn't have to be a good one. It can be a little out of the way, but it shouldn't be too inconvenient for life. It's best not to be outside the city. If it involves relocation, I need your cooperation."

"You need land? Why use it?"

"The commercial bank will provide money to build a nursing home so that the elderly, helpless, and disabled people who have retired from the military can have a place to spend their old age. After all, no matter which dynasty the soldiers are, whether they have meritorious service, or They are family members or something like that. As long as they live in the military camp, they are more or less related to the Forbidden Army? My eldest brother has too many things to do. He really has no money to take care of it. If he doesn't care, then I will take care of it. "

"Oh? Third brother, do you want to take care of this? This is a great thing, okay, okay, okay, I'll find a way. As long as you are willing to pay, I will definitely find a good place for them to go. Then, just take care of the imperial army?"

"The border army is also in charge. Anyway, there is still a lot of money. To be honest, more than 500 million guan may not be enough for the country to do anything big, but for the commercial bank, which only serves the imperial army and the military, what it can do There are still quite a lot of things to do, and the money can’t be spent at all. When this thing is finished, we will continue to spend it.”

"Okay, okay, great, you don't know, because of something like this recently, that Zhang Qiong got a hold of me and was constantly being stubborn with me. It really pissed me off. If you can take action, you have blocked his mouth. Look, what else can he say to me this time? Really, you don’t know how powerful Zhang Qiong is. He is making a fuss out of a molehill. It’s clearly aimed at me. He Didn’t he just save my eldest brother’s life? Didn’t our Zhao family treat him kindly? Isn’t he better than me? It’s true, I get really angry when I mention him.”

However, Zhao Guangmei thought to herself that the biggest benefit of the official position of Duyuhou in front of the palace is to promote and appoint new people. You, the former leader, recruited all the new people before the handover. It's a damn thing that people have no objections to you.

But he also complained: "Who says it's not the case? I just came back from him, and I originally wanted to make peace with you."

"Oh? Third brother, did you just go to see Zhang Qiong?"

"Hey, he didn't let me in at all. He also said that he was a close servant and it was not convenient for me to make friends. I really accepted this little cutie. Could it be that I would plot against my elder brother and launch a palace coup? What did he mean? "Zhao Guangyi couldn't help but be stunned for a while after hearing this: "This man's mind is really a piece of wood. If you ask me, I shouldn't have given him such a position of harming a close servant."

"Come on, come on, drink and drink. Although he has a strong character, but with his brain, if he really wants to be a sole commander, he may not be able to do a good job."

"Hey, who says it's not the case? If I look at it, he is suitable for guarding the door for the eldest brother. Come and have a drink."

The two brothers were drinking and just talked about some serious matters. The topic quickly went off the rails as they chatted. They chatted all over the world for a while, and finally talked about some interesting childhood stories. In the end, they hugged each other and cried and reminisced. Zhao Hongyin, who had died long ago and had no happiness, was so full of food and drunk that he was in a daze. Then he stopped using his chopsticks. Zhao Guangyi personally helped Zhao Guangmei, who was already swaying from drinking, to get into the carriage.

"But second brother, I think, no matter what, that Zhang Qiong is our eldest brother's savior. If you ask me, if you can avoid arguing with him, just try not to be on the same level with him. What do you think? Don't get into trouble then. It’s as if our Zhao family is ungrateful, why don’t we just ignore him and it’s over?”

"This is natural, third brother~"

After saying that, Zhao Guangyi patted Zhao Guangmei's hand heavily and said sincerely: "Third brother, you are a really capable person. Unlike your second brother and I, an ordinary person can't do much to help you. Song's biggest crisis now is the word "poor". If you can make money, you have to do it well."

Zhao Guangmei drank too much and lost her composure. She took Zhao Guangyi's hand and shook it vigorously before getting on the carriage. While feeling dizzy, she couldn't help but said to herself with a wry smile: "This body's endurance is also limited. It’s too bad, how much I drank just now, and I’m so confused that I actually feel like vomiting.”

On the other side, Zhao Guangyi was fine. He shook his head and went back to work. Although his drinking capacity was not as good as that of Zhao Kuangyin, he drank with Zhao Guangmei, which meant gargling his mouth.

After all, the Song Dynasty was a new country. He, the governor of Kaifeng, was actually in charge of more than just the affairs of Kaifeng. Government affairs were already busy, and the military side was fine. The Zhao family came from a general family, so there was no shortage of capable people. He is a trustworthy person, but Zhao Kuangyin himself knows nothing about the civil affairs of governing the world, so he, the second child, can only do it reluctantly.

He is not a person who is good at being a civil servant. Of all the government affairs, he has to study hard and work while learning. Naturally, he has stricter requirements on himself and is busier. He studies and handles them almost day and night. Although Zhao Guangmei left for official duties, Zhao Guangyi did not dare to rest. He shook his dizzy head and went to work overtime again.

As for the mess left after he drank with Zhao Guangmei, naturally it was up to the subordinate officials in the Kaifeng Mansion to clean it up.

However, after the person put away the dishes, he did not retreat. Instead, he stood beside Zhao Guangyi, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

"Is something wrong?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

"I dare to ask Enfu, why did His Highness Prince Qin come to you just now...?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Guangyi looked at the person who came in surprise. This person was the official of his Kaifeng Mansion. His surname was Yao Mingshu. Although he was not a close confidant of Shi Xizai, he could still be regarded as his direct official. This person was always very measured. Ah, why did you ask such a rash question today?
What am I talking about with my brother? Are you qualified to ask about it?
Seeing that Yao Shu had a worried look on his face, and a bit of sadness between his brows, after thinking about it, he found that they really didn't say anything big, so Zhao Guangyi simply said bluntly: "I didn't say anything either. It's just that the third brother wanted to ask for a piece of land from our Kaifeng Mansion to build a place for the elderly in the Forbidden Army. He also mentioned Zhang Qiong and persuaded me to turn our hostility into friendship. Although that person is not sensible, he is still very interested in our Zhao family. Youen, what's wrong? What happened?"

Hearing this, Yao Shu's face was tangled. After a while, he actually knelt down on the ground with a bang and said solemnly: "En Mansion, I have something I know I shouldn't say, but for the sake of En Mansion, I can't. Don’t tell me, if you say that the Hou’en Mansion wants to keep me and kill me, I will admit it.”

Zhao Guangyi frowned, with a serious look on his face, and said, "What on earth are you going to say?"

"I believe that Zhang Qiong must die and must never be forgiven. The expansion of the business must be curbed. Even though the Enfu and His Highness the King of Qin have a deep brotherly relationship, for the sake of the world, someone must stand in the court. To come out to compete with the King of Qin, this person belongs to none other than Enfu!"

　Just a little less today and make up for it tomorrow. Excessive chapters are more difficult to write. On the contrary, the nest plot will be smoother to write. I hope you can understand.
