Chapter 50 Behaviour style
Professional matters must be left to professional people. When Chief Li was still the foreman, even if he had to give gifts, he would not do it in person.
There are professionals in this area.
Broker, white man, second-hand dealer, helper... you can call them whatever you want, anyway, the existence of such people reduces Foreman Li's unnecessary trouble.
Spreading rumors must be done by Shang Wuji. But if you use rumors to get close to the target boss and slander your opponent, you will be lucky enough to get a scum like a villain...
"Why me?"
Young Master Ba spread his hands with an innocent look on his face, "Such actions are harmful to me... Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have a lot of money and a promise, Young Master Ba, everyone knows it!"
After saying that, Jiba reached out and took away a piece of beautiful jade. In addition to the beautiful jade, there were also two gold bars.
The purity of the gold bar is not very high. Judging from the shape, it should be a "ceremony" used by the King of Yan as a reward. However, it looks a bit dark after years of wear and tear.
Many things will become darker the more you experience them and touch them more.
Very normal.
"We are going to Gusu now, and we have to act according to the opportunity in Xialiu. If the Yancheng County Magistrate gives me face, wouldn't it be great if you could tell the king about the customs and customs of Yinxiang? Then send a few elk and Lu Shu to pass, can the king still do it?
Are you happy? But if the Yancheng County Magistrate doesn't give you face, you should be optimistic about the opportunity. If the opportunity is right, you can blackmail Young Master Xuan without leaving any trace."
Jiba blinked: "Play it by ear?"
“Play it by ear!”
"Well... okay, don't worry, Shou Li, I will fulfill my mission!"
He agreed quickly, but Jiba was very happy in his heart, thinking about the current market situation, what opportunity could there be? Gongzixuan is the son of the Wu Kingdom, and is the brother of King Gouchen. Are there any rumors about Gongzixuan?
Overwhelming? It doesn’t exist.
This is a nice trip. I picked up a piece of beautiful jade and two gold bars for free.
Because Luyi gained a lot in the First World War, Mayor Li equipped Jiba with a carriage. The shape was different from the carriages of Wu State. The main structure was made of bamboo, and it creaked and made a rhythmic sound when sitting on it.
But there is a good one, it is much faster than ordinary oxcart loosening, and the buttocks will not hurt.
Those who followed Master Batong to Suzhou were also his fellow villagers. After all, they came from a small place. No matter how noble they were, they had never seen a big city. Now that they have the opportunity to go to a big city and see the world, they are naturally a
Everyone went together enthusiastically.
This can be regarded as a small benefit in Yinxiang.
The delighted young master Ba took the fellow villagers on the road to Gusu to meet the king and sell some local specialties from Yinxiang.
On the way, Ying Jian, a former minister of the Shulong Kingdom, asked Ji Ba: "Ba, is this the only life of Shou Li?"
"That's all."
Young Master Ba was smiling. This trip to Suzhou was just for a trip, so there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well……"
Ying Jian was silent for a while. He was a former slave. Even now, he is considered Li Jie's private property. But Li Jie was generous and not only gave him freedom, but also found something to do.
The originally decadent life is somewhat glorious now.
As someone who had been in the officialdom, Ying Jian felt that Li Jie was very extraordinary and did not look like an ordinary "Shaye" person at all.
But Ying Jian didn't know that Li Jie was not a native "savage". He had been in Yin Township for so long, and he didn't even understand Li Jie's roots.
People who asked about "Baisha" only said that Li Jie was once a "Baisha fierce man".
It seems that from the beginning, Li Jie was a "White Sand" person.
The carriage headed towards Suzhou. In the river, the fleet of ships traveling with them would arrive a little later than them. Ying Jian, who was deep in thought, had a doubt in his mind: Shou Li is a very human being, and this trip will not be easy!
Intuition in officialdom is sometimes that simple.
Glancing at the cheerful Young Master Ba, Ying Jian guessed on the carriage that this time in Gusu City, he would have to have a good exchange with the envoy from Yancheng.
"I'm on this trip to Gusu. Thank you for your help, sir."
"Jun Yiyang is my uncle, and we share the same bloodline with the surname Ji. How can we distinguish each other?"
"The 'savages' from Yinxiang are so arrogant and untamable that they actually took away Lord Yiyang's beautiful concubine. They are really cruel and rude people! I am going to meet the king on this trip. I only hope that the king can severely punish the stubborn ones."
The middle-aged man who was sitting on his knees seemed a little depressed, and his tone was full of helplessness, as if he had no way to deal with the "savages" in Yinxiang.
"You don't have to worry. 'Baisha' is wild and untamed, and it's always been like this. After you meet the king, you only need to tell the origin. How can the king abandon his clan and get close to the 'savages'?"
"What the young master said is very true..."
The middle-aged man saluted slightly, then picked up the Tao Jue and said to the person sitting in the center, "I respect you, Your Majesty."
"please."
After the two drank, both of them showed satisfied smiles.
At this time, at the small door in the backyard that is convenient for entering and exiting the kitchen, a "cooker" was taking a green bag with a smile. After shaking it, a crisp jingle came from inside.
When he opened it, he saw that each piece of "dysprosium" was still as shiny as new. The "cooker"'s eyes lit up: "Sincerity is good dysprosium."
After saying that, he tightened the bag and stuffed it into his arms, and then said to the driver who seemed to be selling wages: "Today, someone from Yancheng came here. I heard that he is a noble man."
"Have you ever stayed to eat with the young master?"
"The noble doctor will definitely stay."
While talking, the "cooker" was very proud of himself, "I made 'eel soup' using 'eel from white sand', and was rewarded by the young master."
"Um...thank you."
After the salary seller left, he dragged the cart to a corner of the Gusu market. After entering, Shang Wuji was sorting some brands. Different brands had different names.
"Your Majesty, the Yancheng County Magistrate paid a visit to Young Master Chou, and Young Master Chou stayed with the Yancheng County Magistrate for dinner."
"It seems that the Yancheng County Magistrate's meeting with the King was not in the name of official duties."
There is still a difference. Business is official, so the Yancheng County Magistrate is the Yancheng County Magistrate, and he is the king's man. If you can meet through private channels and identities through Gong Zichou's introduction, he is Gong Zixuan's envoy and lobbyist.
Shang Wuji immediately thought about it. It was really interesting for Gongzi Xuan to do this. Because Gongzi Xuan had always been "honest" in Huaishang and helped King Wu suppress many dishonest "Huaiyi"
, in terms of blood relationship, among the brothers of the King of Wu, Gongzi Xuan is one of the few who is still alive and well without any illness or disaster.
If you meet in private, it's no surprise that you have to play the emotional card. It's best to impress King Wu, and then directly send troops to Gusu to bulldoze Yinxiang.
It's not impossible, but that was before, but it's very different now.
Yinxiang was established only a short time ago, and the commander of Yinxiang was "appointed" by the King of Wu. The King of Wu was always old, but he had not yet reached the point of slapping himself in the face.
What's more, Yinxiang left a very good impression on the King of Wu. The auspiciousness of "White Dragon King" was, to the old King of Wu, God's praise for his excellent governance of the Kingdom of Wu.
"Gongzi Xuan, as Shou Li said, he has earned his reputation in vain."
After figuring out the little thoughts of Lord Yiyang, Shang Wuji suddenly became a little disdainful. If the official business was done in an official manner, it would be detrimental to Yinxiang and it would also show the "impartiality" of Lord Yiyang.
But now relying on personal relationships, it is just a small family spirit. Even if it turns the world upside down, it is just a little discord between two local forces. The King of Wu will not take the affairs of the two families as important at all.
Not surprisingly, even if the Yancheng County Magistrate met with the king, King Wu would only act as a mediator and at most scold Yinxiang.
