Hearing the arrogance of Liu Mingzhi's question, Nangong Ye and both of them frowned involuntarily.
It only takes a while.
The two looked at each other with slightly embarrassed expressions, and laughed in low voices several times with angrily expressions.
"Hehe, uh-huh, hehehe."
"Uh-huh, hehehe."
At this moment, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye had already reacted. Young Master Liu asked them what the question meant.
Young Master Liu saw Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye reacting with sullen expressions on their old faces. He chuckled and took a sip of the tea in his cup.
"Uncles, what's your reaction?
Which one of you two will tell me, this young master, who among our Western Expeditionary Army is proficient in business?"
"This, this, this."
After Zhang Kuang said this three times in a row, he turned to look at Nangong Ye, who was sitting opposite him, with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Nangong Ye noticed Zhang Kuang looking at him, and the expression on his old face also became embarrassed.
Immediately, he gently scratched the tip of his nose a few times with his fingers, and then raised his eyes to look at Mr. Liu, who was leaning on the carriage with a slight smile and sipping the tea in the cup.
"Zhi'er, what, what, what, in a place like a military camp, if you want generals who are good at fighting, brave and resourceful, you can grab a lot of them.
But if you want to find someone who is proficient in business, to be honest, it’s not that easy to find.”
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Zhang Kuang hurriedly spoke in agreement.
"Yes, yes, Zhi'er, Brother Nangong is right.
It's easy to find people who know how to fight and use soldiers in the camp, but it's really hard to find people who are proficient in business."
After listening to the answers from Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye, Young Master Liu put down the tea cup in his hand with a slight smile and raised his eyebrows, and continued to eat melon seeds.
"Two uncles, do you mean you can't find them?"
Nangong Ye and Zhang Kuang looked at each other and nodded to Young Master Liu.
"Zhi'er, there's a very high possibility that he won't be found."
"Zhi'er, what's that? According to my knowledge over the years, among the main generals in the army, none of them are proficient in doing business."
Young Master Liu turned his head to face the window and spit out the melon seed shell on the tip of his tongue. He looked back at Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye and let out a sigh of relief.
"Two uncles, as you two just said, among the main generals in the army, there is simply no one who is proficient in business.
In this case, we can only send one of our own people who doesn't understand business at all, or who knows a little about business, to supervise Creech.
Let a person who doesn't understand business at all, or a person who only knows a little bit, control a person who has been doing business for decades and is well versed in business.
Two uncles, what kind of thing is this? Isn't this a typical case of taking advantage of a layman and commanding an expert?
Isn't this kind of approach just making fun of the joint chamber of commerce that I have tried so hard to establish, young master?"
As soon as Mr. Liu's slightly regretful words came out, Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye's already somewhat embarrassed expressions suddenly became even more embarrassed.
Zhang Kuang raised his eyes and glanced at Young Master Liu with a slightly raised brow. He remained silent for a moment in embarrassment and took a puff of tobacco out of the car window with the tobacco bag in his hand.
"Zhi'er."
"Uncle, just tell me, I'm listening!"
"well!"
Zhang Kuang sighed softly, raised his hand to face the window and casually fanned the light smoke lingering in the carriage a few times.
"Zhi'er, I won't hide it from you.
Regarding the situation you mentioned, uncle, I had already thought about it carefully in my heart when I read the contents on the rice paper just now.
Although uncle, I am old now, but I have not yet become an old fool.
I don't know in my heart that this has huge disadvantages.
However, just in case, Sir, I really have no other option.
Even though I know that this approach has huge drawbacks, I still have to advise you to do it.
In a word, in the final analysis, the matter related to the candidate for the position of president of the Joint Chamber of Commerce is really too important.
You have left such an important position in the hands of an outsider like Crich, and I am somewhat uneasy, uncle."
Listening to Zhang Kuang's sincere words, Liu Mingzhi turned slightly sideways and turned his gaze to Nangong Ye.
Nangong Ye felt Young Master Liu looking at him, and quickly raised his hand to dodge the light smoke that was lingering in front of him.
"Zhi'er, uncle, I agree with what Brother Zhang just said.
The position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce is of great concern, and I am not at ease if it is handed over to an outsider who is not under our control for the time being.
Maybe, I and Brother Zhang, we two old bones, judge the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.
However, for the sake of my great dragon, Tianchao, and for the great cause of my great dragon’s western expedition.
Even if you really judge a gentleman with a villain's heart, I will admit it.
As long as this approach can benefit me, the big dragon, then the villain will be a villain."
As soon as Nangong Ye finished speaking, Zhang Kuang next to him immediately echoed loudly.
"Zhi'er, Brother Nangong is right.
A villain is a villain, I accept that."
When Liu Mingzhi saw Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye looking a little stubborn, he immediately shook his head in confusion.
"Hehehe, hey, you two old guys!"
Listening to Young Master Liu's helpless tone, Zhang Kuang and the other two smoked the dry cigarettes in their hands.
Seeing the two people's reactions, Young Master Liu chuckled and shook his head again, picked up a melon seed and put it in his mouth.
For a moment, he really didn't know what to say.
Of course, I understand very well what Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye are thinking.
After all, the fundamental reason why the two of them made such a suggestion was for the sake of Dalong and his great cause of the Western Expedition.
Unfortunately, the two of them don't understand what they really think in their hearts!
After Liu Mingzhi happily finished the dozen melon seeds in his hand, he raised his arms and stretched his hands out the window and gently patted the crumbs in his palms a few times.
"Two uncles."
"Zhi'er?"
"Hey, Zhi'er?"
Liu Mingzhi let out a silent sigh, picked up the teapot on the low table, and refilled a cup of tea for himself and Song Qing.
"Two uncles, in recent years, Krich has been dealing with generals like you a lot.
Even if I don't tell you what this person's character is, I think you all know it.
Nowadays, there are no outsiders in the carriage. Only the four of us, my young master and my eldest brother, are present.
You might as well give Kerridge a fair evaluation. Frankly speaking, how is this person?"
When Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye heard this, they looked at each other and began to ponder in silence.
After a long time.
Nangong Ye came to his senses from his deep thoughts and took a long breath with a sad look on his face.
"Zhi'er, I have to admit, this man is indeed a smart man who is good at business management."
After Liu Mingzhi heard Nangong Ye's answer, he looked towards Zhang Kuang with a smile.
"Uncle, what about you?"
Hearing Young Master Liu's inquiry, Zhang Kuang looked hesitant, and after a moment of silence with tangled eyes, he nodded with a wry smile.
"Zhi'er, I admit that Crich is a rare talent.
Talents like him are rare even in our Dalong court."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, then casually took out his Wanli Jiangshan carved jade fan from his waist.
"Uncles, let me ask you another question. Talents like Crich.
If he is born in our Dalong people, how about I give him the position of a doctor in the household department?"
“More than enough.”
He arrogantly stroked the gray beard on his chin with a thoughtful expression, and after thinking about it secretly, he coughed a few times under his breath.
"Yeah, yeah, cough, cough, cough.
Zhi'er, uncle, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart, regarding a talent like Crich.
If it were just the official position of a household doctor, it would be somewhat low.
With his own talents, he should at least hold the position of left minister of household affairs or right minister of household affairs."
After listening to the answers from Zhang Kuang and Nangong Ye, Liu Mingzhi nodded with a faint smile.
"Uncles, if you put it this way, you still recognize Crich's talents."
Seeing the smile on Young Master Liu's face, with a arrogant and complicated expression, he first raised his hand to knock out the ashes from the smoke pot on the lathe of the carriage, and then picked up the teacup in front of him.
"Zhi'er, from when my uncle, Brother Nangong, and Qing'er read the contents on the rice paper, we started talking about the position of president of the United Chamber of Commerce.
From beginning to end, I have never denied Crich's own talents.
I have always highly recognized his abilities and capabilities.
As we discussed before, I don't deny that Creech is a rare talent.
However, the key issue is that it doesn't matter whether he is a talent or not.
What matters is whether his talent belongs to our Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty, and whether it is under the control of you, Zhi'er, the king of the Great Dragon Heavenly Dynasty."
As soon as Zhang Kuang's words fell, Nangong Ye, who had knocked out the ashes from the cigarette pot from the car window, took over Zhang Kuang's words in time.
"Zhi'er, Brother Zhang is right.
Whether Creech is a real talent and whether he belongs to our Dalong Dynasty are two completely different concepts."
After listening to Zhang Kuang and Zhang Kuang's answers, Young Master Liu gently rubbed his temples with his fingers, then looked at Song Qing, who was sitting opposite him and eating pastry, with a faint smile.
"Brother."
Song Qing heard the sound, quickly swallowed the cake in his mouth, and looked at Mr. Liu with doubts in his eyes.
"Huh? Third brother, what's wrong?"
Young Master Liu looked at Song Qing's reaction with doubts in his eyes and rolled his eyes angrily.
Based on my understanding of Song Qing, I was very sure that his current reaction was entirely a deliberate attempt to pretend to be confused.
There was only such a large area in the carriage, and he didn't believe that Song Qing couldn't hear what the three of him were talking about just now.
I have to say that my elder brother, who looks honest and honest on the surface, but is actually full of tricks, is really good at pretending to be confused.
If I had not dealt with him for decades, I would know his personality and character very well.
Then, there is a real possibility that I might be deceived by his confused reaction.
Young Master Liu looked strange and muttered to himself for a long time, then he looked at Song Qing opposite and narrowed his eyes slightly with a smile.
"Brother, are the pastries delicious?"
When Song Qing heard Young Master Liu's sudden question, an imperceptible look of surprise quickly flashed through his eyes, and he nodded vigorously without hesitation with a smile on his face.
“Hahaha, it’s delicious, of course it’s delicious.
Third brother, before I got on the bus, I saw with my own eyes that these pastries were served to you by sister Ying'er herself.
As a brother, I know without guessing that these pastries were made by sister Ying'er herself.
Sister-in-law Ying'er, how could the cakes she personally made for you not be delicious?"
As Song Qing spoke, he happily stuffed the remaining half of the pastry into his mouth.
"Haha, hahaha, third brother.
Because brother, I can eat the pastries made by Ying'er and sister, but I am dragging down your luck."
Young Master Liu listened to Song Qing's words which were full of compliments to Ying'er. Jiuting didn't need to think deeply to know that his good brother was still pretending to be confused with him now!
As long as he wasn't a fool, he wouldn't know what he meant by suddenly turning the topic to him.
Liu Mingzhi tidied his sleeves happily, picked up the tea cup that had just been refilled on the low table, nodded slightly and took a sip of tea.
"Brother, are the pastries delicious?"
Hearing this, Song Qing nodded without hesitation.
"Yeah, yeah, delicious, delicious."
Under the gazes of Song and Qing, Young Master Liu nodded with a strange expression.
Immediately, he suddenly turned his head and looked outside the car curtain.
"Willow Pine."
"Here you are, young master, what's the matter?"
"Liu Song, how is the wind and rain outside now?"
"To tell you what the young master is saying, the rain now is a little heavier than before we went out.
Fortunately, it doesn't affect our journey very much."
"Oh? Has the rain gotten heavier again?"
"Back to Master, yes."
"Liu Song, the rain outside has become heavier again, what about the cool breeze coming towards you?"
"Back to the young master, the cool breeze coming out has not changed much.
Master, is the cool breeze blowing into the carriage? Do you need to slow down a little?"
