Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou, looked at him slightly, and said, "At this time, I am very curious. Who will come to find you as a lobbyist?"

He had just dealt with Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing, Li Banghua, Qian Qianyi, and sent Zhou Yanru away the old forces. Someone came to him so soon?

Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Just say whether to give it or not?"

Zhou Zheng looked at Jiang Ninghou and thought to himself.

In his presupposition, this congress has more than 48 seats, but it is impossible to let go all out at once. It needs to be developed and improved slowly.

As for the components inside, they naturally need to cover every class and hear all the voices from all over the country.

Seeing Zhou Zheng silent, Marquis Jiangning said, "Five thousand hectares, in addition, we will donate 300,000 yuan in silver to the court. We are willing to solve some of your affairs for you."

Zhou Zheng became even more curious and said, "Let me reveal a little? If I have no idea, you will get nothing."

Jiang Ning Hou frowned slightly and then said, "You should know that Yang Sichang and others are not one or two people, but the vast majority of them. They all know that your political meeting will have a great role and are willing to participate. I think this is a good thing and can bring you great help."

Zhou Zheng nodded calmly. Most of these people were involved with Yang Sichang and others, but they were not so direct in touch, but they also hoped that they could succeed.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Do you want to rely on this kind of development power? Another wave of Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing?"

Jiangning Hou shook his head gently and said, "They are too anxious. Someone told me that the reforms of Emperor Shenzong of Song and Wang Anshi were no matter how vigorous they were, as soon as they left, they were immediately overthrown. Wang Anshi was still full of criticism. Duke Dingguo, you are a minister of the world. Whether it is me or others, you all hope to have a good end. And we are all ordinary people, and we do not ask for anything left in history books, but we only hope to seek wealth and stability when we are alive."

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised. This Marquis of Jiangning had always been wise and foolish before?

Zhou Zheng thought about it and said, "According to the plan, each province has two quotas, and the others have supplements such as the court and the military. If you want five quotas at once, it will destroy the balance. Others may not agree, I need to consider it."

Jiang Ning Hou took a deep breath, with a serious expression and said, "I will convince the emperor to give up all the land, manor and other assets of the royal family except for the accident of the palace, but the palace retains it and pays the palace 200,000 taels a year."

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, touched his chin, and said, "Do you value this political meeting so much?"

Jiangning Hou said: "Duke Ding should know that there are no secrets in this world. You have to say to so many people that it is impossible to be in a strict manner and there is no trace of the wind."

Zhou Zheng had already thought of it and said, "Indeed, this Council will surpass the cabinet in the future, but this will not cost you such a big price, right? And don't you think that the emperor will regain power one day?"

Jiangning Hou said: "We can't see what happens in the future, we have to take care of it... After all, Duke Ding is less than forty years old."

Zhou Zheng was completely enlightened at this moment. Perhaps these people were expecting Zhu Cilang to become the resolute Emperor of the Ming Dynasty again, but they were also betting, worried that Zhou Zheng would be Cao Cao, and the second generation of the Zhou family would become Cao Pi and become independent on behalf of the Ming Dynasty.

It is completely in line with the style of these Ming dynasties, always bets on multiple sides and keeps on the wall to ensure that interests can still be guaranteed in the changing circumstances.

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup again and said, "It's not enough."

Jiangning Hou naturally knew, and said, "Your reform is still at the provincial level and cannot be reduced at all. With our support, you can advance quickly. You will slowly see that for only five seats, you will make sure to make a profit. The land acre, the silver is doubled, and the salt, tea and iron are not allowed to touch them."

Zhou Zheng said: "I want five million yuan in silver and ten thousand hectares of land. If you lose these, don't count on it."

Jiang Ninghou sighed in his heart. After all, he had no qualifications to negotiate and was just slaughtered.

"I will tell them, but such a huge price should be worth two ministers." said the Marquis of Jiangning.

"One, Ministry of Works." Zhou Zhengdao.

Listening to Zhou Zheng's decisive tone, Jiang Ning Hou nodded silently and said, "Okay."

With so many benefits, Zhou Zheng was in a good mood and said, "Let's go and try my wife's skills. She used to not cook, but only started after she had children. She has been lazy in the past few years, but she can still eat..."

When Jiangning Hou saw Zhou Zheng staying behind, he could only smile and sighed in his heart. The kind of peaceful relationship that had no interest before was gone forever.

At the dinner table, not only Zhou Zheng and Jiangning Hou, but also Zhou Desan.

The original little guy is now sixteen years old and is a big guy. The person who proposed marriage on the other side was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it. He pulled Shangguan Qing all day long to look at it, wanting to choose the best entry.

In addition, the Zhou family sister-in-law, who is not anxious to go out on weekdays, often attends various gatherings of women in the capital, all to see their daughter-in-law.

The Zhou family is in its prime now, and I don’t know how many people want to send their daughter in, so they naturally try their best to curry favor with it.

Zhou Deqian, this guy, was unaware of anything and spent all day in the army, and he really wanted to make achievements like his second uncle.

Zhou Zheng also intends to train him and has arranged a lot of opportunities for him.

Jiang Ninghou looked at Zhou Deqian and knew that he was not Zhou Zheng’s parent-child, so his enthusiasm was reduced a lot, so he praised him a few words.

Zhou Deqian ignored the Jiangning Hou who came out of nowhere. His eyes were burning and he looked at Zhou Zheng with hope and said, "Second uncle, are you going to fight the north?"

Zhou Zheng was having a meal and said, "Not this year, I will try it first."

In a battle with Jianlu, the most important thing is to fight the main force. If the main force of Jianlu cannot be solved in one battle, then this combat power will become a war of attrition, which is far away.

The Jianlu obviously would not fight the Ming Dynasty to a decisive battle. Even if they defeated the Ming Dynasty, they would have suffered a lot of losses. Without the population and land heritage of the Ming Dynasty, it would be extremely difficult for them to recover.

The previous Ming Dynasty's strategy was to gradually advance and take steps forward. After more than two years, Huang Taiji died of illness and the young emperor succeeded to the throne, which was indeed an excellent opportunity.

"Next year?" Zhou Deqian grabbed the key and stretched out his head.

Zhou Zheng looked at the little guy eager to try, thought for a while, and said, "You have to convince your sister-in-law if you want to go."

Zhou Deqian felt ache when he thought of the old lady who chose his wife for him all day long, and he lowered his head and ate the rice in a depressed mood.

Jiang Ning Hou chuckled and did not interrupt.

Zhou Zheng glanced at Jiang Ninghou, cried with him, and thought about the south in his heart.

Yang Sichang must be familiar with the situation of the naval battle and Taiwan for a while, and perhaps he will have to wait until next year.

In other words, there may be two wars next year, and neither will end in a short time.
