Chapter VII: Only with competition can there be progress
Oh? Zhao Hao just picked up an egg roll and wanted to deliver it to his mouth, so he had to put down his chopsticks and ask Pu Chengxing: "What, didn't you make an appointment?" ”
Pu Chengxing saw sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said embarrassedly: "This, the villain came in a hurry, and forgot to inform Li Mu's envoy." ”
His previous words were not true. The two county supervisors were indeed quite depressed by the sudden erection of a high wall outside the county and the marking off of their own jurisdiction.
Li Mu envoy did not discuss with himself purely because of his simple nature, so he negotiated everything with the Lord of the Celestial Empire, so that he did not have any opportunity to perform.
"Huh...... Please. Zhao Hao looked at him with a smile. This little trick of intrigue, in the eyes of Zhao Gongzi, is like child's play.
Park Sung-seung was like falling into an ice cellar, chilling to the bone, and sat there paralyzed and felt like he was finished.
He deliberately did not notify Li Mu to come to see Zhao Gongzi together, but in fact, it was not a big problem. But the problem is that he lied to Zhao Gongzi just now, and the surname Li will be debunked as soon as he comes.
It took 300,000 taels to build up the trust that was easily established, but it collapsed like this......
~~
After a while, the dusty Li Mu envoy limped in. He first glared at the unrighteous Pu Chengxing, and then gave Zhao Hao a big salute without shame:
"Xiaguan, Li Ruotong, the pastor of Jeju in Jeolla Province, Ariamyeong Joseon, has met with Zhao Gongzi of the Heavenly Empire!"
"Envoy Li, please hurry up." Zhao Hao'an sat like a mountain, only raised his hand to help him, pointed to the opposite side of Pu Chengxing and said, "Quickly show Li Mu a seat." ”
The maid hurriedly added a table and set a set of meals.
Li Ruotong sat down with difficulty after thanking him, and glared at Pu Chengxing on the opposite side fiercely.
"How did Master Li do this?" Zhao Gongzi asked with a concerned expression.
"Xiaguan, Xiaguan only learned this morning that Gongzi came to inspect, and he came on horseback all the way." Li Ruotong tried to spread his legs apart as much as possible to alleviate the pain in his crotch. "The next official is late, please forgive the son."
From Jeju City to Singang City, the distance in a straight line is 70 miles! The road was broken and potholes, and Li Mu made all the people who were bleeding......
But this can't stop him, he is eager to see Zhao Gongzi's heart!
Unlike Pu Chengxing, who loves money like life, Li Muzhi, as a noble-born civil official, has more desire for status than money.
In the Li Dynasty, the position of power was the most enduring wealth, and this was deeply ingrained in the hearts of every two team members. Only a guy like Park Sung-seung, who fell into the martial arts, would regard money as so important.
Li Ruotong, the Jeju pastor, is already a subordinate official of the Zhengsanpintang, and he is the official of the Zhengsanpintang one step further.
It was his lifelong dream to become a court official and rank in the eastern class. It is a pity that the Li Dynasty is hereditary, and the population of the two classes has swelled, but the official positions in the court are limited and tight, and it is obvious that there are more wolves and less meat. A weak chicken like him who has to come to Jeju Island overseas in order to be promoted to the third rank of Zhengsanpin, under normal circumstances, he can't cross this moat at all.
So when Na Park Sung-sex told him that the fleet of the Celestial Empire's grain shipping hoped to use Jeju Island to replenish supplies, he immediately saw an opportunity. If you can climb the high branches of the Celestial Empire, let alone the officials of the hall, the six judgments and the great priest will also do it!
Therefore, he was responsive, not only happily agreeing to lease two lands, but also actively sending able-bodied untouchables to work in the leased land of the Celestial Empire. Isn't it just counting on Park Chengxing to introduce him to the Lord of the Celestial Empire?
Who knew that this guy surnamed Pu actually wanted to eat alone, so he secretly came to Xingang City to greet the nobles of the Celestial Empire without saying hello. Fortunately, he planted eyeliner next to Park Sung-sex, otherwise he would have been kept in the dark. Losing a chance to stammer, not to mention, may also make the nobles of the Celestial Empire think that they are disgruntled and deliberately neglected. That's a bad dish.
So as soon as he got the news, Li Ruotong didn't care about the official body, so he rode on his horse and rushed over.
~~
Zhao Gongzi was happy to see Li Mu's uninvited guest. There is competition to make progress, otherwise it won't take long for this simplicity to be lazy.
So Zhao Hao deliberately promoted Li Ruotong, not only let him sit on the head of the right envoy Park, but also said a lot of words to thank him for his support. All of a sudden, he counted most of the credit for Park Chengxing's head on his head.
Although Pu Chengxing heard this, Li Ruotong was overjoyed, and he was worried that this young Lord of the Celestial Empire would be bewitched by the surname Pu and would not wait to see him.
I didn't expect the prince of the Heavenly Dynasty to see everything clearly, and he really knew what he had done! Praise the son, willing to serve the son of the dog and horse!
Li Zhoumu immediately said that he would do his best to provide security services for the Celestial Empire. Ask men to give to men, food to food, stones to stones. Measure the material resources of Jeju and make the hearts of China!
Zhao Gongzi highly praised Li Zhoumu's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, saying that such an official could be an example for the Li Dynasty, and asked Tang Youde to add a WeChat account with him...... Oh no, be so close to him in the future.
"Park You's military affairs are busy, and there is no need to trouble him in the future." Zhao Gongzi smiled and took a sip of miso soup, lean, patronizing and talking, it was cold.
When Pu Chenghe and Li Ruotong heard this, the corners of their mouths twitched at the same time. The former goes without saying, and retribution is coming.
The latter is because of Zhao Gongzi's name for Jeju Island, and of course he didn't dare to correct it. But it's really a shame to let yourself, the Jeju pastor, change her words.
"Childe is so right, the right envoy Park is in charge of the army. The civil affairs on Tamna Island are more directly subordinate to the officials! After a second, Li Zhoumu's sense of shame disappeared, and he changed his words smoothly.
Zhao Hao also deliberately tested him, and was very satisfied with his reaction. The officials of the Li Dynasty are all talents, and they speak very well, and I like it very much.
So he warmly invited Li Mu to take a boat with him to the next stop, Chengshan.
Li Ruotong naturally couldn't ask for it, so he hurriedly agreed.
~~
After the luncheon, it was already dusk, Zhao Gongzi was in a hurry, did not stay overnight in the villa, went directly down the mountain to the small pier of the original water war station, and took a boat to the base of the Tamna garrison area.
In addition to the invited Li Mu envoy, Tang Youde, Zhu Jue and others also accompanied him, and even Park Sung-sex and Jin Xishan were invited to go together, and all the members of the Tamna Chamber of Commerce also followed, I don't know what Zhao Gongzi's idea was.
Park Sung-sex thought that he was done this time, but he didn't expect Gongzi to invite him, and when he boarded, he was grateful, and as soon as he got on the boat, he knelt on the deck and asked Zhao Gongzi for his guilt.
Zhao Gongzi originally planned to hang him in the sea to take a bath and sober up like last time. But the sea water at this time is already too cold, if you make a three long and two short, so that Park Chengxing also becomes Park Bucheng, won't you have a grudge?
Yes, Zhao Gongzi patted his head, it's still the old way.
"I told Brother Ling last time that I want you to pour a few night incense for him." Zhao Hao glanced at Pu Chengxing and said, "My son's words always count, you see?" ”
"Down, the toilet man on the boat is all covered." When Pu Chengxing heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Make sure that the brush is clean and unambiguous!" ”
"Alright, let's go." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "If there is a next time, it won't be as simple as pouring a few days of night incense." ”
It's to go to Gabo Island and pour night incense for a lifetime.
"Thank you for your grace." Pu Chengxing kowtowed like pounding garlic, and thanked him a thousand times. Therefore, some things are destined to happen, and there is no escape. The toilet that should be brushed by him is indispensable.
~~
When Pu Chengxing went out, Zhao Gongzi changed into loose clothes under Qiaoqiao's service. While drinking the decanting soup cooked by Qiaoqiao, I listened to Secretary Ma report the news I had just received.
The three of them were relaxed on a couch, they were used to life on the ship. The slight shaking did not affect them in the slightest.
"The fleet of Caoliang shipping passed through Tamluo Island at noon today, and Sister Huaixiu sent a ship to greet her son, and the news was also delivered with the ship." Ma Xianglan wore gold-rimmed glasses, held a cowhide folder, and reported softly.
Zhao Hao lay on Qiaoqiao's amazingly elastic legs, and asked a little drunkly, "Is the fleet safe?" ”
He finally realized the mood of the big shipowners in this era, and every time the fleet went to sea, he was worried about it.
"Sister Ma said that the wind and waves in this shipping are slightly bigger, but the thousands of ships are more resistant to wind and waves than the 400 sand ships, and there are 70 ships and 200,000 stones of grain, and there is no loss." Ma Xianglan smiled and handed him a light blue letter and said, "I don't believe you, she also said that she wanted to come to see you." ”
"Really?" Zhao Hao woke up most of the time, and took it to take a look, how could he come to see him? He was so angry that he scolded while tickling her: "It's getting more and more unusual, we are pure sister and brother feelings, don't joke!" ”
"The slave knows it's wrong." Ma Xianglan gasped like an orchid, begging for mercy and saying, "Don't dare anymore." ”
"I see if you dare next time." Zhao Hao said indignantly: "I haven't settled accounts with you last time!" ”
Naturally, he was referring to Zhang Xiaojing's business. Speaking of which, after Zhao Gongzi sent the song 'Luohong is not a ruthless thing' to Xiaozhu last time, there was no follow-up.
I didn't see her when I messed with Li Mingyue in the capital, and when I went to Dashahat Hutong to say goodbye before leaving Beijing.
It seems that Xiaozhuzi has decided to obey his father's orders, stop thinking nonsense, and treat him as the petal that fell into the mud.
This result was not at all unexpected, but Zhao Gongzi's heart was a little sour. People are not satisfied, they have Long, and they look back at Shu......
Alas, I'm still obsessed with work, so I don't think about these bad things.
Zhao Hao shook his head and said in a sullen voice: "Tell the truth." ”
Seeing his lovelorn look, Ma Xianglan pursed her lips and smiled incomprehensibly, and said in her heart, Miss Zhang, you have to thank me well.
Then she straightened her hair and continued to report:
"The floods in the south of the Yangtze River have receded, and all prefectures and counties have been severely affected. Fortunately, Lai Gongzi and the group ran to call for a sign to reduce the tax and grain consumption by ninety. In addition, the Haigong Organization was effective in disaster relief and reduced the service of the affected prefectures and counties, so the people could still keep food rations after paying taxes, so there was no escape. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, and put down another piece of big heart.
In the third year of Longqing, he must have committed the Dragon King. In the spring, the Yellow River burst the embankment, and in June, Zhili, Huaiji, Xu Pei, and the east and west of Zhejiang, the south of the Yangtze River and the north of the Yangtze River all had a big flood, the city wall was damaged, the fields were flooded, and the drifting people and animals were not counted. In July and August, the wind and flood were fierce, and the sea water poured in, which really ruined the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.
