Chapter 83 Uncle of the Ship King
Wang's behavior was really beyond Jiao Deyou's expectation. Although Jiao Deyou had heard of the name Wang's name for a long time, he was nothing more than the son of Wang Anshi, the adopted son of Lord Bao and the apprentice of Di Qing.
Jiao Deyou is in his thirties. Since he joined the Zhou family, he has been trying to get along with his officialdom. He has seen many people who have formed friends in order to rise to the throne, or have been climbing up with his parents. After receiving the letter from Zhao Zongshi, he despised Wang Bing and thought it was just a friendship between the king and grandson.
It's not surprising that the money made by Jiao Deyou is often the business of thousands of taels of gold and silver, and if these silver are placed in the people, it is a small number, but it is indeed an unknown two-level differentiation under the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Let's say that Lord Bao's income is about one thousand taels of silver every month; and a government official in the capital can support a family with a monthly salary of 15 yuan; while the villagers outside Jincheng County want to get five or six yuan of food and clothing.
Of course, there are regional differences. Not to mention the Song Dynasty, it is normal that the income difference between first-tier cities and remote mountainous areas is several times.
After all, Wang Pian burned 2,000 taels of this ship. For Wang Pian, it may have been in vain to transport coal and tea this year. But if the money is counted, the king will pay a torch for his own future. At this point, Jiao Deyou was both surprised and impressed.
He was shocked at first and stared at the fire snake dancing on the boat in front of him. Looking back at the king, he put his hands behind his back and straightened his back, and his eyes were burning. He looked at the boat in front of him with disdainful look.
Jiao Deyou calmed down. He hugged his fist and asked, "I'd like to know who this girl Liang is? Unexpectedly, the prince refused Mr. Zhao's kindness for him.
Wang looked back at Jiao Deyou. At this time, Jiao Deyou did not have the bullying spirit when he saw him during the day. I also soften my tone a lot. He is not disgusted with Jiao Deyou, but doesn't like to be despised. The burning boat is not for Jiao Deyou to see, but for Zhao Zongshi.
Wang looked at Jiao Deyou and said word by word, "Miss Liang should have been called Di Yuexia. She is the trust of Lord Di Qing who is seriously ill and is my fiancee."
Jiao Deyou said "Ah" and then asked, "Lord Di is seriously ill. How is he now?"
Seeing that his expression was not like pretending, Wang replied, "Lord Di is out of date, don't you know?"
Jiao Deyou really didn't know that he had visited Lord Di in the capital, but after Di Qing went to Chenzhou, he had no contact again, and Jiao Deyou was busy with business. The wood used for these two ships often had to travel with the Wuxi barbarian land (now Sichuan Basin and the surrounding areas)
Now suddenly heard that Di Qing's death, Jiao Deyou was stunned at first, and then looked at the boat in front of him burning, crying like rain. This kind of silent tears is more touching than the howling. A man can't shed tears easily. If he hadn't been extremely sad, this man wouldn't have been like this.
Jiao Deyou did not cry, but used a kind of silence to let the king know that this person has a lot of relationship with Di Qing. The two of them were silent for a while and quietly watched the fire burning the boat.
Jiao Deyou's mood has almost calmed down. Wang asked, "Mr. Jiao, you have old friends with my father-in-law."
Jiao Deyou sighed: "To be honest, if Lord Di had half the character of a prince, my father would not have died at the hands of Han Qi. But it's no wonder Lord Di. He tried his best.
Wang listened and asked in surprise, "What's your father?"
Jiao Deyou wiped his face with his robe sleeves and pointed to the position where the two were drinking: "Today, you and I watch the fire and drink." Seeing him say this, the king sat down with him, picked up the glass and drank up the wine in the glass.
Jiao Deyou said, "My father's name is Jiao. He is a brother with Lord Di and a subordinate of Lord Di." It turned out that this was an old story when the Song Dynasty soldiers sent five ways to fight against Li Yuanhao.
When Han Qi's soldiers and horses fought against Yuan Hao, Di Qing was promoted to the deputy director of Zhending Road. One day, Han Qi held a banquet in his house. In order to enliven the atmosphere, he invited a white peony. The white peony toasted everyone in turn. When she came to Di Qing, she raised her glass with seven points of ridicule and contempt: "I'll toast you!" She deliberately laughed at the nirvana stabbed on Di Qing's face when she joined the army.
At that time, Han Qi also felt that the white peony was too much and felt uncomfortable on his face, so he ordered to beat the white peony. A few days after a banquet in Di Qing's house, there was a literary minister, Liu Yi. At the banquet, Liu Yi thought that it was instructed by Di Qing. He broke the plate and scolded, "How dare you?"
Not long after, Di Qing's old subordinate Jiao passed by Dingzhou with escorts. When they met an old friend in his hometown, the two of them exchanged glasses and drank a little wine for a while. At this moment, a pawn ran to Han Qi to complain. It is said that Jiao uses to restrain supply and bully them along the way...
Originally, this matter could be investigated first, not to mention that Jiao had military achievements before, and it was also Di Qing's subordinates. Even if he was punished, he wanted Di Qing to speak, but unexpectedly, Han Qi ordered and cut off Jiao.
After Di Qing knew it, he quickly went to Han Qi's place to plead with his old friend. Han Qi refused. Di Qing stood under the steps outside the door and said in a low voice, "Jiao You used to have military achievements. He is a good man!"
Han Qi replied to him with a sneer, "Outside the Donghua Gate, the champion sings the name. That's the real good man. Jiao dares to call him a good man with this kind of color?" After saying this, Han Qi ordered people to kill in front of Di Qing. Jiao Yi was beheaded because of a soldier's complaint.
Di Qing watched his ancients being beheaded and stood alone in front of the door for a long time until someone reminded him, "General, you have been standing for too long!"
Jiao Deyou told the story here and burst into tears: "I have never blamed Lord Di. Lord Di, who became a privy envoy many years later, said when he saw me: Han Qi and Han Privy are the same as my official position. The biggest gap between me and him is just a scholar."
"Come and drink!" He wiped his tears and raised his glass to the king again.
Wang raised his glass and said to Jiao Deyou: "I don't know that the two families have such a relationship. Even so, Jiao Gong must understand why I burned the boat."
Jiao Deyou sighed: "It's not just that understanding can be expressed!" I have been doing business for so many years, and I want to find an opportunity to teach Han Qi a good lesson. It's a pity, it's a pity"
"What's the pity that Brother Jiao is so popular now."
Jiao Deyou said, "Unfortunately, officials and businessmen have different ways to use each other. Unfortunately, I don't have a first-time diploma.
Wang listened to what he said and frowned, "Big brother, don't need to sigh. Which one has been the champion since ancient times?" Laugh after saying it
Jiao Deyou's eyes lit up, and there was no one else here. He said, "Brother, be careful when you talk."
The corner of the king's mouth: "The throne is not in my eyes"
Jiao Deyou didn't understand what Wang Bian meant. Wang Bianzhi was barrier-free in ancient times and modern times. He was more worried about being the emperor than now. Seeing that Wang Bian was so crazy, he said with a smile, "You are young and frivolous, do you have this courage? It's just that you have knot with Mr. Zhao. What are you going to do at this time"
The king looked at the burning ship, and part of the wood that burned in the water fell into the water, making a sizzling sound. The ship was about to disperse. The villagers on the dock are using long bamboo poles to drive the wood blocks of Mars, so as not to touch the ship where they are.
"I didn't think so much. I burned Zhao Zongshi's momentum first."
Jiao Deyou said, "Actually, Mr. Wang doesn't have to do this at all. Just go back and marry Miss Liang immediately."
Wang said, "I've thought about it, but I'm just afraid that Lord Di's funeral time is not full."
Jiao Deyou: "You are very bold when you are not afraid. The rules are set by people. Besides, it is difficult to see that there is something wrong, so can't you use the old rules to deal with it? If I were Lord Di, I would be afraid that I would be at ease in the spirit of heaven.
Jiao Deyou's words were being said to Wang's heart, and the two of them were already like brothers at this time. He said, "I saw you for the first time today. At first, I underestimated my brother. If you offended me, don't go to the mind. The fever will burn. It's on my brother. I don't know the identity of Miss Liang, so I take this letter as a risk."
Wang side smiled and said, "How can I do that? I burned the boat. If I dare to provoke it, I dare to carry it. You can say that I have received it. I received the heart of the ship as a gift from Mr. Zhao, but the burning of the ship is for the name of Mr. Zhao."
Jiao Deyou is a little suspicious: This? Is it good to say that?
Wang said: Brother, although you say so, if Zhao Zongshi relies on the ship's money, it will be counted on my younger brother's head.
Jiao Deyou looked at the boat burning beside the king and saw his courage. He no longer refused, but patted the boat they were sitting on: "Okay, this ship, I'll give my sister's dowry, and my brother will take it."
Wang looked back at him: "Brother Jiao, what do you mean?"
Jiao Deyou laughed: "What is a ship? Look at the ships in the dock. They are all left by my father-in-law. If you burn all the fire energy, I'll get some money, and just find a quiet place to take care of the rest of the world, and save me from dealing with those clothes and beasts.
Wang knew that he had a grudge in his heart, and Han Qi was now a privy envoy. He said, "I know what it means to have a lot of money. I have learned the strength of Brother Jiao, but I naturally don't accept this merit, let alone being a man-in-law like my eldest brother."
Jiao Deyou laughed and said, "Where are you thinking? I said to my sister, not my wife's sister. Since my father is close to Lord Di, Lord Di's daughter is naturally my sister. What else can I say if you protect my sister? This is a dowry for the eldest brother to the younger sister. Do you still dare to shiy?"
Wang saw that Jiao Deyou was righteous. Needless to say, he quickly got up and bowed and thanked him, "I don't excuse myself. Brother, you should know my heart. There are no relatives under the moon. With a big brother like you, she must be very happy."
Jiao Deyou was also moved by what he said. Jiao Deyou thought that he had no relatives and friends, so he joined the Zhou family. Although he is so rich that he doesn't know how rich he is, he always feels that there is a lack of close relatives around him. Money is a small matter. Wang's thoughts for Yuexia is to make Yuexia happy, and Jiao Deyou is also gratified.
The two discussed that they would ship the ship tomorrow, and Jiao Deyou would return to the capital with Wang to get married for Wang and Yuexia. The more the two talked, the hotter they became. Wang took the opportunity to mention the rest of the year.
Jiao Deyou said: I often see this boy, and he is also a kind person.
The two of them called Yu Dadao to the bow of the ship. Speaking of the matter in advance, Yu Danian was kind. He said that in these years, after the old man of the Zhou family was gone, the more Jiao Gong was in charge of the business, the bigger the business became, and he did not want to become a wife himself. Now I just want to work with the prince. As long as the second boy of the Zhou family doesn't dislike it, he will marry him slowly.
Wang saw that Yu Danian was ambitious, and asked him to officially go to Zhou's house to propose marriage. Yu Danian looked at Jiao Deyou. Jiao Deyou smiled and said, "My girl is not a person who hates the poor and loves the rich. Besides, I will not marry shabby and let my sister suffer."
No one knows how rich Jiao Deyou is, but since the first shipbuilding in the Yellow River Basin is also a "ship king". The king burned a boat angrily and picked up a boat. It can be said that the king lost his horse. However, even if Zhao Zongshi was not allowed to lose money and return to the capital to get married, he still rejected Zhao Zongshi. Tell him clearly that I don't use it for you.
