After having enough wine and food, Shi Yuzhi could only watch the girls who disliked the talent show in Ruyilou and could not play too much, so he went to Lichun Court to continue "drinking" and invited Ma Hanshan to accompany him.
Regarding Shi Yuzhi's hobbies, although Ma Hanshan tried his best to express that they were the same hobbies, he was disdainful in his heart. Therefore, if he really wanted to play with him, of course he would not want to. At least tonight he did not want to socialize with this guy anymore. It was also necessary among friends.
On balance, the sworn brother Meng Lianggon was already very unhappy for being so polite to Shi Yuzhi and others just now. If he went to Lichun Courtyard with Shi Yuzhi again, Meng Lianggon would definitely complain.
So, he found a reason to refuse.
"Brother Shi, and everyone, I really have an appointment tonight, so... in two days, I will organize a game in two days and ask all the brothers to have fun." Ma Hanshan took out a stack of silver notes and said, "If there are too many,
Brother, I don’t know what to say, so let’s let Brother Kong Fang make others feel uncomfortable.”
Ma Hanshan gave each of Shi Yuzhi and others 200 taels of silver notes. He smiled with a smile on his face, but in his heart he cursed viciously, "Your uncle, take it to prostitutes, I hope you are infected with flower poison."
Although Shi Yuzhi and others have money at home, their monthly usage is stipulated by the family. You can’t spend as much as you want. If you want to spend more, you have to find a way. Of course, with the power of their family, they usually
It's not difficult to get some money, and no one even dares to eat the Overlord Dinner.
However, this was the first time that someone took the initiative to give them money bills on the street, so when they got Ma Hanshan's money bills, they all smiled like Maitreya and were happier than marrying a bride. They suddenly felt that this Ma Hanshan
Brothers are really good, better than me, and closer than brothers.
"Brother, if you really made an appointment tonight, we won't force you. Tomorrow night, tomorrow night I will invite you to Lichun Courtyard and let the most popular girl...haha...brother...we made an appointment..." Shi Yuzhi and others
Went away happily.
Shi Yuzhi and others left, and Ma Hanshan, Meng Lianggon and others moved to the entertainment building of Ruyilou nightclub, which is actually the flower building. Shi Yuzhi said that the girls here can only watch from a distance but not play up close. That is wrong, as long as you have money
, long and not scary, girls here can "buy clocks".
Of course, this concept of buying a clock was "taught" to Shen Wuwan by Ma Hanshan, but I didn't expect that this guy actually copied it completely.
Ma Hanshan did not expect that Shen Wuwan was really a genius. The design of the entertainment building was actually very "modern". In the center of the hall on the first floor was a performance stage. Girls played the piano, sang or danced on the stage, surrounded by rows of seats for drinking and chatting.
The so-called second floor is actually an attic suspended in mid-air. It has always had no walls. It has fences and curtains. If you don’t want others to see or watch the performance downstairs, just put down the curtains.
Fat San personally took Ma Hanshan and the others to the "attic" with the best location and the largest space.
"Master Ma, the third floor is a separate performance room. If you want any musician to perform alone, they can go to the third floor... Of course, if Master Ma wants them to perform some 'special' shows, they can be taken directly to other places to 'perform'.
"The fat man said to Ma Hanshan flatteringly after closing the door of the "attic".
"Fat shopkeeper, you are treating me differently. I come here often and I have never heard of such a service." Meng Lianggon, the fat third man, could no longer stand his flattery.
"Haha, yes, yes, yes, Mr. Meng will have it next time he comes." Fatty San said with a smile.
"Well, I understand, you can go down." Ma Hanshan waved his hand and said, "By the way, is your boss back?"
"Not yet, I'm afraid I'm going somewhere else with Mr. Fu Yi..." Fat San blinked and gave Ma Hanshan a look that made him understand.
"Okay, you can go down." Ma Hanshan was a little surprised. What happened to Shen Wuwan and Mr. Fu Yi? Don't they want to make money? The leader of Ma Dazhai was so negligent when he came.
Fat San went down, and a servant and Xiao Bei brought some wine and some fruit.
"Brother Meng, didn't you say that two friends are coming? Why haven't they arrived yet?" Ma Hanshan said as he lit his pipe.
"Haha, I don't know when Shi will leave. I just asked someone to inform them that they don't want to come. Let's make another appointment later." Meng Lianggon was a little angry when he talked about Shi Yuzhi. He didn't understand why Ma Hanshan wanted to do this to him. Shi Yuzhi was so "groveling".
"Brother Meng seems a little angry because I invited Shi Yuzhi and the others?" Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Brother, I really don't understand why you have to be so groveling." Meng Lianggon said angrily.
"Did I? Did I grovel? Mr. Qi, did I do this?" Ma Hanshan turned to look at Qi Nanyue.
"Master, you are indeed too enthusiastic towards them. They are all traitors." Qi Nanyue said seriously.
"Oh, after the traitor... Then tell me, who are the most powerful people in the court now?" Ma Hanshan said with a smile.
"Humph, traitors are in charge, otherwise, why would I sing like this?" Meng Lianggon said angrily.
"How do you achieve your goals when traitors are in charge? Or do you do nothing when traitors are in charge? A philosophical choice is also a life choice. It is better to bend than to bend to be a hero, but you don't need many such heroes, just one and a half occasionally. Otherwise, If nothing can be done, not only will the country not be more stable, it will even become more chaotic. You must have never heard of the saying that politics is the art of compromise. But what I want to tell you is that we can hate and oppose it extremely These treacherous ministers, even if they get a chance, they won't mind giving them a blow." Ma Hanshan said calmly while blowing out smoke rings.
"But when there is no chance to kill them, do we just do nothing for the sake of one breath? In this case, wouldn't Dasong be even worse? Appropriate compromise can buy time and space to do something and save money. This is the right approach to use our power to develop society. Traitors only care about wielding power, and we don’t bother to compromise with them to give them some space and time to do what must be done. In that case, the country will really be hopeless.”
"Let me tell you clearly, I came to Beijing this time just to protect you. I want to get acquainted with the righteous and warring faction, and I also want to get acquainted with the treacherous capitulation faction. Otherwise, I will only be with you, the righteous warring faction." Come and go, the capitulationists in power want to kill me, all they need to do is say a few words." Ma Hanshan feels that this is the same as being a gangster. You can hate a certain gang extremely, but when you are unable to eradicate it, , the best way is to compromise and give in to gain space and time for your own development.
When used properly, hiding one's strength and biding one's time is much more powerful than rushing out.
When you are unable to change the environment, you must adapt to the environment. This is the summary of Ma Hanshan's survival. He will not be so stupid to confront others. In order to achieve his goal, he can use any method to interact with people of the traitorous faction. It is not a problem at all. .
"Alas, brother, you can't ride both boats with one foot." Meng Lianggon knew that he could not control Ma Hanshan, so he could only sigh.
"Brother Meng, you are wrong again. I have not stepped into two different boats. My views and opinions have not changed. As I said just now, if there is a chance, I will not mind giving them a few knives. But now,
I have to show kindness to them within limits, in order to let their party give me some slack." Ma Hanshan smiled and said, "To be honest, I never thought that I would meet Shi Liyuan's son and make friends with this guy.
If I have a relationship with you, other traitorous ministers will think twice even if they want to reach out to me."
"So, dear brother, you will continue to interact with them." Meng Lianggon felt very hurt, how could Ma Hanshan do this.
"Of course, I will not only continue to interact with them, but I will also find ways to provide benefits to their families... Alas, Brother Meng, they are all officials in the same dynasty, and if they are too antagonistic, nothing will be accomplished. This... I am not only saying this to you,
He will also tell General Meng." Ma Hanshan paused and then said, "Brother Meng, haven't you ever thought about why the emperor suddenly let the general leave Beijing to take up his post? Have you seen the map? Where is the Zhongzheng Army station?
?I tell you, the emperor had a deep meaning in asking the general to go to that place. If my guess is correct, other military envoys or commanders along the route will soon be transferred."
Meng Lianggon was lost in thought. He had always been dissatisfied and really didn't pay attention to these things. But he was a smart man. Ma Hanshan reminded him like this, and Ma Hanshan thought of some possibilities.
"Brother Xian, are you saying that the emperor has the intention of the Northern Expedition?" Meng Lianggon thought this was impossible. How could someone who had been soft for so long suddenly harden.
"Even if there is no intention of the Northern Expedition, there is still an intention to show strength. Something must have happened in the DPRK or a major event in a country. Oh, damn, how could I forget this matter." Ma Hanshan turned around and said to Nanyue.
, "Immediately go ask Fat San which envoy is invited by Honglu Temple tonight. Also, let them find out what happened in the court. Be careful and pay special attention to those things that others think are unimportant.
.Sometimes, the unimportant is the most important.”
Qi Nanyue responded with a yes and hurriedly left to find Fat San and the liaison station where he ordered the reconnaissance company Lin'an.
Ma Hanshan is a person who is good at finding and seizing opportunities. He feels that if there are changes in the DPRK or side affairs, it will be an opportunity.
"Brother Meng, why don't you pursue an official career?" Ma Hanshan refilled a pipe of cigarettes, lit it and took a nice puff and asked Meng Lianggon, who was drinking heavily.
Meng Lianggon was really depressed. He had always thought that he was smarter than others, but now he realized that Ma Hanshan was much smarter than him. He felt a little sad. Alas, his brother was smarter than him. It was really uncomfortable.
.
"Well, if I am not good at literature or martial arts, how can I pursue an official career? How can I pursue an official career?" Meng Lianggon said with a sigh.
"Haha, if the civil and military officials of Dasong were really able to use their talents, they would definitely not be what they are now. Besides, in the eyes of the younger brother, Brother Meng is much better than many people who hold power."
Ma Hanshan paused and said very seriously, "To be honest, Brother Meng, if you have no other ambitions, you should pursue an official career. Now is definitely a good time. Maybe you will have the opportunity to make a difference soon."
"Then...brother, do you think I should become a military attache or a civil servant for my brother?" Meng Lianggon thought for a moment and said.
"Of course it's a civilian official. To be a civilian official is to take the military road. Aren't the top leaders of every army now civilian officials? To gain connections, you need a civilian official, and then find a way to be transferred to the army. The appearance of a civilian official is for better promotion.
, was transferred to the army in order to master the important weapons of the country." Ma Hanshan pointed out.
"Then I'll find a way to settle the account with my father." Meng Lianggon thought for a moment and said.
"No, think of a way to go to Xiangfan or Guangling..." Ma Hanshan reminded. This chapter has been completed!
