Chapter 70
Bringing Li Jie's attitude to bear, Shang Wuji became Dazai Ziqi's guest.
At this moment, my uncle deeply felt the feelings of Gongzi Ba and Ying Jian. The guest invited by the Dazai was not Shang Wuji, but the pound of gold.
"This is the sincerity of an upright and sycophantic minister!"
When leaving Dazai's mansion, my uncle sighed with emotion in the carriage.
Ziqi is really evil and upright, greedy for granted, not pretentious or hypocritical.
My name is Ziqi, Dazai Wu, I am a traitorous minister, I will speak for myself...
Ziqi is really unambiguous in doing things when he is paid. The autumn harvest season is quite busy. With Dazai's responsibilities, Ziqi can keep his feet busy with daily official duties.
But even though he was busy with official duties, Zi Qi still found time to give Shang Wuji the benefits he had agreed to.
The market outside Suzhou City has many "philistines" from Yinxiang.
Not one, not two, but three!
Zi Qi said, for the sake of Li Xiangshuai being so cheerful, buy one and get two free!
"Wow, this Ziqi is really talented. The fact that the state of Wu is so strong is not just due to King Wu's courage. He is a capable minister."
Mayor Li, who originally looked down upon Dazai Ziqi, had to admit that Ziqi was really admirable.
Not all corrupt officials are capable, but Ziqi, who is very "moral", can definitely be regarded as a capable official. It can even be said that Ziqi wants to attract investment, saying that he wants to start a Gusu handicraft industry
In the development zone, businessmen rushing to send money to Wu State could probably go around Gusu City more than three times.
"That's why I became a great minister, and I became a merchant."
My eldest uncle was quite emotional. He was so "professional" and "morally upright" in taking bribes and taking money to do things. This is really... simply!
"It's a shame that King Wu dared to use it. King Wu really used people's abilities and not their virtues."
However, Mayor Li was not optimistic about Dazai Ziqi's fate. One year, he went out to take over a job from a brother unit of a textile factory. There was an old man in charge of logistics in that unit. He was quick at work but his hands and feet were unclean. He was thorough in everything but greedy for small profits.
Before the old helmsman stepped down, he collected his evidence and handed it over to his successor.
Then... the new helmsman fucked him when he came on stage. He was so full of food that everyone in the unit, young and old, praised "Yaxi".
My hands are all red!
In the opinion of Township Chief Li, if this Dazai Ziqi survives until the next King of Wu comes to power, his fate will not be much different.
But then he thought about it, and Township Chief Li discovered another problem. It seems that this old bastard has been refusing to be granted a title in Wu State. Now after thinking about it for a moment, Township Chief Li thought, maybe this old bastard is not always ready.
Run away.
If the relationship between Gou Chen and Zi Qi was particularly deep, I guess Gou Chen would agree to Zi Qi's departure. If there is a deviation, Zi Qi is also a banker and treasury.
Drought and flood ensure a good harvest.
"Use people's abilities, not their virtues..."
When Shang Wuji heard this, he immediately felt that it was very meaningful. He was about to sigh when he heard Li Jie say impatiently: "Isn't this just a 'meritocracy'? Have you heard of Cao Mengde?"
The eldest uncle shook his head: "I wonder which country you are from?"
"From the State of Wei."
"Is there a country called Wei?"
The eldest uncle looked confused, "It's true that the Jin State has the Wei family, but..."
"Okay, okay, that's not important. Have you purchased the things you were asked to purchase?"
"It has been put into storage, do you want to inspect it?"
"Of course we need to check. What if one of your students commits corruption?"
"..."
What Mayor Li purchased this time was rosin and tung oil. Yinxiang's collection and trading capabilities were not enough to attract big businessmen.
Furthermore, even famous businessmen may not be able to collect enough rosin and tung oil.
Only national-level capabilities can be accumulated in large quantities.
Wu State is a large country in the southeast, so it naturally has such strength. As long as the King of Wu is willing, he can mobilize dozens of surrounding countries to provide what he needs.
"Shou Li, why do we need so much rosin and tung oil?"
"Why are there so many? I like to eat barbecue, is it okay? I want to dehair the pig skin, so I need pine resin, is it okay?"
After glaring at his uncle, Mayor Li added, "I'm going out in two days. You should stay at home and don't run around. If anything happens in Gusu, let Jiba handle it."
"yes."
"By the way, when will the 'Mighty Man' gold medal be delivered?"
"Dazai said he hired the best carpenter and is carving it."
"This old thing is really shameless. Is it really made of wood?"
Township Chief Li was shocked. He just said that, but Ziqi really did it.
Shang Wuji was a little worried because his boss had said he would go out every two days. Who knows what he was going to do, what if he went out to kill people and set fire again? This would be another piece of shit.
The consequences of crossing the Yangtze River and plundering the Huaiyi people are not over yet.
The "Yu Ji" the boss snatched back was, after all, the daughter of the Lord of Luyi City. The identity of such a woman is not so easy to digest.
Although various countries complained that the people on the Huai River were "Huai Yi", in fact the "Huai Yi" were not really barbarians, but remnants of the previous dynasty and civilized people who built a state.
The ancestors of the Huaiyi tribes were also granted the title of monarch, uncle or even king.
Therefore, it is a very sensitive matter for the savage leader to snatch a "daughter of a prince" as a concubine, and it is not convenient to publicize it.
But the boss, Mayor Li, was a pain in the ass for Shang Wuji. He almost bragged to everyone who came to Baisha Market, saying that he had a great time fucking the daughter of the Lord of Luyi City.
Although there is no description of the specific details, it makes many passing businessmen envious. The story is slightly modified and it is "a fierce man on white sand has a beautiful concubine".
Stories always need to be fresh. When a businessman goes to a place and arranges the story, the freshness will attract many customers.
In the absence of entertainment activities, you can become famous by singing, dancing and playing basketball.
Shang Wuji wanted to persuade the boss, but Li Xieli was confident: What happened to me that I just stole the concubine of Lord Yiyang? Not only did I steal his concubine, I also went to Yancheng to steal his wife!
My uncle was very impressed at that time, thinking that the boss really had a unique taste, and even an old lady who was almost sixty years old would not let go. He is a great husband, and he is not afraid of meat and vegetables.
"Ask Jiba to go to Gusu to urge me. I can get this 'Mighty Man' gold medal as soon as possible. I'll be able to use it in two days."
"good."
Mr. Tomoe has recently been worried about going to Gusu, and he is even a little uneasy about going to see Dazai Ziqi.
But this time, Shang Wuji told him that he was just helping to get the "Mighty Man" gold medal back, nothing else.
Young Master Ba suddenly wondered: Could it be that the gold medal specially given by the king was not sent by an envoy from Gusu?
Shang Wuji looked at Young Master Ba with a look that looked at a weakling: "Yinxiang is not Yunting. On the fifth watch, the first Li is not a minister of the king."
Gusu even sent an envoy to hold a commendation ceremony for you, a rich man from the countryside? You are thinking too much.
This move itself has nothing to do with Yin Xiang and Li Jie. It is purely the King of Wu's suspicion of Lord Yiyang, and the suspicion is driving the matter.
"Oh well."
Young Master Ba had no choice but to bite the bullet and went to Gusu again.
Dazai Ziqi was very happy and said that the gold medal was ready and it was perfect.
Master Ba checked it and found that the material was good wood with golden bronze pieces inlaid on it. It was indeed a big "gold medal".
After receiving the gold medal, Master Ba quickly returned to Yinxiang to claim his credit.
Mayor Li is also very happy. With this gold medal, some things that were once done secretly can now be done openly.
The gold medal has exquisite workmanship and a brilliant and gorgeous appearance. It can be said that it is very high-end at first glance.
Hanging it on the chest is quite intimidating.
However, Mayor Li's face looked quite ugly.
"Shou Li, because of his gold medal talent..."
"Xia Liu."
Mayor Li put a hand on Young Master Ba's shoulder, "You have read books, are literate, and have traveled to twenty-six countries, right?"
"The first Li has won the prize, this is just my fault..."
"Shut the hell up! Are you still proud?! Look clearly! What are the words on this!"
"Mighty...macho man?!"
