Chapter 208: Taking Office (2)

Mingsa and still Shu sat on the stage, brewing momentum, observing the more than 20 representatives of the Yue family's aristocratic families who were either pot-bellied and fat-headed, or had long beards and white hair and were proficient in business.

"All of you and all of your families are the pillars and pillars of the Yue Clan, so this first reconstruction council invites you to discuss it together." Minsa said.

After listening to the words of the Lord of Minsa, this first sentence set a flattering tone for the whole council, and a voice echoed and pretended to be modest sounded in the audience.

"In the past, the Yue Clan was able to have its own foothold in the land of the Western Regions, thanks to the support of your families, which the Lord of the Kingdom has emphasized to us many times in recent days, and he is also very grateful to you. Now that the Yueshi country is newly established, it is even more necessary to rely on your support. ā€

Listening to the praise of the county lord of Mingsa in Yunling, the necks of these people in the audience were stretched longer, and their heads were raised higher, thinking that the new lord was the new lord, and he didn't have to rely on the support of the old courtiers, he was very tender.

"We're also new to the city, and we've been busy lately, so when we have time, we must visit your house." Minsa continued to hold it.

The audience said one after another, the county lord was raised, polite, and shining... and so on, but Minsa could see that they had all been said to be open-minded, and they were not in a state of restraint at the beginning.

"Presumably, your mansion is also made of gold and jade, and it is gorgeous."

"Where, there..."

"The county lord laughed..."

……

"Mingsa I was born in Yanzhou, although I have never seen the wealthy Wangfu in Yanzhou, but I have visited some nobles in Yunling. I have seen the jade Qiongliang golden brilliance, so you don't have to be too humble, many years of business, luxury should also be enjoyed, when I have time to open my eyes. Minsa continued.

"Speaking of the nobles of Yunling, I really have a deep memory of the forty-eight carved gold pillars in the main hall of Gu Mansion, and the delicately carved auspicious clouds on the pillars really seem to be about to fly! There are also a total of 7749 steps of the jade steps in the main hall, I don't know if Brother Gu Ting occasionally returns home, stepping on the jade steps, facing the soaring auspicious clouds, whether he has a serious face, but secretly enjoys a feeling of steady progress in his heart. Still shuning in on the sidelines, he laughed as he spoke.

Many of the people in the audience heard the champion Hou speak for the first time, and saw that although he was wearing a sword with him, wearing a military uniform, and his eyebrows were full of domineering gloom, but judging from the tone of his speech, it seemed to be quite gentle, not as scary as imagined.

When Mingsa heard this, he responded with a tacit smile: "Brother Gu Ting, if you know that you are far away in the Western Regions, you must be the only one who asks." However, Gu Fu really didn't care about the money of gold and jade. ā€

Ming Sa paused, and saw that the people in the audience seemed to be thoughtful, as if they were silently calculating, forty-nine layers of jade steps and forty-eight golden pillars, how many silver taels would it cost...

"What I remember most is not the big objects that you men like, I remember that I saw a pair of white jade in Chiheng Mansion, which is a color that I have not seen in Yanzhou. Both pieces of jade are pure white and flawless, crystal clear, smooth and warm, natural, and surprisingly the same size, absolutely good! Minsa continued.

"Oh, the pair of white bi you said was later rewarded by Chi Heng to one of the warriors in his army."

Yes...... The audience unconsciously let out a burst of sudden exclamation.

The rich men of the Yue Clan Kingdom had just heard the champion Hou say that the forty-eight golden pillars had been admired for a long time, and they thought to themselves how could there be such a spectacle in their mansion... Listening to the pair of white bi that the county lord of Minsa said again, it is definitely a treasure in the world, and my heart was hung by that pair of white bi.

As a result, the champion Hou changed his words and said that the general of Wanling had rewarded them to the warriors in the army so casually, and his heart almost swallowed with saliva.

"Ahh It seems that I grew up in Yanzhou since I was a child, and it is indeed rare and strange, and it seems that those two pieces of jade are not in Chiheng's eyes. Minsa continued to add fuel and vinegar.

"This kind of white, there should be no shortage of better products in Chiheng's mansion, but Chiheng is a man in the army, there are not many treasures in the mansion, you haven't seen the treasures of the rich merchants, it's just a tyrannical thing." Still said with a natural smile.

"Yes, I heard that Gu Ting came back from the envoy of Wusun Kingdom, and I once said that he saw that the Mu Mansion was rich and rivaled the country, and the scale of the Mu Mansion and the interior decoration were not inferior to the main palace in any way." Minsa said.

The people in the audience looked at the county lord and the champion Hou on the stage and said one by one, and their saliva of yearning was about to flow out.

At this time, Minsa suddenly turned his head and said sincerely to everyone in the audience: "I believe that there must be many such treasures in your house, is what I said rare and strange, and please bear with me." ā€

The people in the audience hurriedly hid their embarrassed looks, for fear that Minsa would see that their hearts were empty.

Just now, Mingsa and still said that you said a sentence and I showed off the treasures and wealth of Yunling, and they all chose the top to say, they themselves knew in their hearts that the Yue Clan was not the richest in the Western Regions, not to mention the rich people of the Yue Clan. Comparing the richness of Yunling with the luxury of Mufu, they must have been compared to many times.

"I don't know if there are any novel treasures in the patriarch's mansion, so tell them and listen to them." It doesn't matter if you still pretend to be a face. This question made the audience silent, and the embarrassing atmosphere just now became even stronger.

Neither Minsa nor Stillshu spoke, but allowed the awkward atmosphere to continue for a while, just to make them silently recite in their hearts a few times that they were actually frogs at the bottom of the well.

……

"Ah, we are from Yunling, and we are not very familiar with the Yue Clan's country, so we ask you for advice, do the elders know what the Yue Clan is rich in?" Minsa felt that the time was almost there, so he broke the silence and asked.

Hearing that the county lord of Minsa changed the topic in a timely manner, everyone relaxed a little and hurriedly responded, for fear that this bloody champion Hou would chase after the rare treasure and ask questions.

"Yue's cantaloupe is the sweetest, which is praised by everyone."

"In this way, the grapes are also big and sweet, and they are the best among the countries of the Western Regions."

"There are many Yue's craft workshops, the people are ingenious, and the decorations are also contested."

……

Very good, Minsa thought to himself, what I want is for you to show that you are proud of the Yue's specialties one by one.

In fact, where do you still need to consult the locals, Minsa and still Shu have already inquired about the specialties of the Yueshi country in detail. In the southern part of Yueshi country, the annual precipitation is very small, the evaporation is strong, the sunshine time is long, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which creates an excellent environment for the ripening of melons and fruits.

Therefore, the melons and fruits here are very sweet and ripe, and the taste is excellent, and there is no shortage of melons and fruits all year round.

"What are the things that the people of the Yue Clan lack in their lives?"

"Yue's tea is too expensive, and some of it was finally shipped in, but it was all snatched up by a few families."

"Silk is also expensive, and the condition of the goods shipped from outside is not good..."

"Spices are also expensive..."

……

"The spices, silk, and tea that the Yue clan lacks, almost all of them can be transported from Yunling, why do you want to bypass Wanling and go to the Dingjie to transport them?"

"The county lord doesn't know, there is an impassable section of the waterway between Yunling and Yueshi, and there are often pirates, how to transport it if the road is impassable?"

"It is the Wusun Kingdom that communicates with the Dingjie for trade, and the materials transported to the Western Regions are already expensive because of the long distance. The price of Wusun sold to the rest of the states is even steeper, and in the long run, Wusun will become more and more prosperous, and the rest of the states will become poorer and poorer. ā€

"yes......"

"yes."

Everyone agreed, this is right, but how to change it?

"If the waterway between Yueshi and Yunling can be opened, it will be a blessing for the benefit of all generations." Minsa said.

Open up the waterways between Yunling and Yue's country? The group of people in the audience fell into deep thought, they are all good at management, of course they know the huge profits after the success of this matter, but before they succeed, they also have to think about the difficulties they face.
