Chapter 291: The Passage Stone

Zhang Mengfei said: "When I was eating at the tavern at noon, I listened to a table of merchants from other places chatting, and they said that this Jiangzhou Business Conference was not as smooth sailing as the outside world thought. On the contrary, Jia is probably facing a potential challenge. ”

"Oh? What challenges? Xiao Ya asked curiously.

"Those merchants mentioned a person's name," Zhang Mengfei said, "and it was Xie Guiming, who was known as Lin'an's 'Little Tao Zhu'." This person not only did a great deal of business, and the trade routes spread far overseas, but he was also a well-known large landowner in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has thousands of acres of fertile land. This Xie Guiming is Jia Nidao's biggest challenge. ”

Zhao Liang asked, "Does Xie Guiming have any special background?" It is said that the people do not fight with the officials, even if he is rich, he will not dare to quarrel with the dignified uncle of the country and the feudal official Jia Rudao. ”

Zhang Mengfei nodded: "Brother Zhao guessed right, Xie Wei clearly has a background. His cousin is Cheng Yuanfeng, the first product of the dynasty, the right prime minister and a scholar of Guanwendian University. Cheng Lao has a prestige in the court, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, even if Jia seems to be hard, he doesn't dare to fight with his old man. Xie Guiming eats all the official noodles and business noodles, so he has never taken Jia Yidao in his eyes, and he is even more dismissive of his recent measures of 'government-run money bank' and 'public land reform', and often tells people around him that these practices are pure nonsense. Such an influential and wealthy businessman would definitely make Jia Yidao very worried, and at the same time, he regretted inviting Xie Guiming to attend this business conference. ”

Zhang Mengfei took a sip of tea, and then said: "The reason why Xie Guiming publicly called out is mainly because Jia Yidao violated his fundamental interests. First, the Lin'an business community is located in the capital, and the pricing power of many commodities is in the hands of Xie Guiming and a group of Lin'an bosses. Whether it is financial resources or connections, there is no businessman in the whole country who can challenge them. However, Jia Rudao has now created a 'government-run money bank', coupled with the Jiangzhou Business Conference, which has a faint intention to seize power, which will naturally cause unhappiness in the Lin'an business community. ”

"Secondly, it's about the public fields. Xie Guiming, these big businessmen, have always been 'only rich but not expensive'. The money can't be spent in a few lifetimes, but the status is not high, and it is far inferior to those scholars who have made meritorious contributions in the imperial examinations. There is no better way for successful buyers and sellers to change this situation than to acquire large amounts of land. With land, it is equivalent to having people, food, wealth that can be accumulated and inherited from generation to generation, and also having a value that the government can look at. However, Jia Rudao's action of wanting to promote the reform of the public land directly blocked the way for these big bosses to go to the upper echelons, which naturally attracted fierce opposition. ”

Hearing Zhang Mengfei say this, Zhao Liang suddenly realized, and said with a slight bow: "Then it's no wonder." Jia Rudao wanted to do some new tricks so that he could make some great achievements in order to further his position in the court. But it is not surprising that his reform plan will inevitably offend the nerves of those with vested interests and provoke a backlash. However, when Brother Zhang mentioned this Xie Guiming, what does it have to do with our meeting with Jia Nidao? ”

Zhang Mengfei smiled and explained: "Think about it, if someone tells Jia Yidao at this time that he has a way to deal with Xie Guiming, at least he can ensure that Lao Xie will not make trouble at the business conference the day after tomorrow, then will our Lord Jia be interested in meeting him?" ”

Xiao Ya's eyes lit up, and she said happily: "This is indeed a good bait for fishing Jia Rudao!" And he had to meet in secret

and can't let too many people know. ”

Inas looked a little hesitant and asked, "But, how can we make Jia Rudao believe?" As Brother Zhang said just now, Xie Guiming has strong strength, and his background is very hard, even Jia Yidao can't do anything about him, how can he easily agree to the statement we made up temporarily? ”

Zhao Liang also felt the same way: "Yes, in case Jia Rudao really asks me for tricks to deal with Xie Guiming, and I can't say anything, I guess he will have to do it on the spot." ”

Zhang Mengfei smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao doesn't need to worry. Since I said that I can use this scheme, I am not unsure. A few people don't know that Xie Guiming has one of the biggest characteristics, that is, he believes in Buddhism, and his ambition is quite devout. He often calls himself a layman, and worships the great monk Wuzhun Master of the Rinzai Temple, if it weren't for the strong persuasion of his parents, wife and children, maybe this guy would have already become a monk. And coincidentally, that Master Wuzhun is my own uncle! ”

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a small jade stone from his arms, and continued: "This sutra stone is a treasure that my uncle has carried by his side all the year round, and it is engraved with the entire "Diamond Sutra", also known as the "Sutra of Breaking the Vajra Prajnaparamita". Before I went on a long trip this time, I made a special trip to bid farewell to my uncle, and his old man specially gave me this treasure and asked me to take it on the road to bless safety. As his lay disciple, Xie Guiming will naturally recognize this thing, so as long as Brother Zhao tells Jia Yidao that there is no quasi-mage behind him, then Boss Xie will have to give some face no matter what. ”

Zhao Liang took the jade handed to him by Zhang Mengfei, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time, and said happily: "It's good now!" As soon as this treasure comes out, it is like a master's father, even if Lao Xie breaks it again, he can only retreat and hold back. Jia Rudao rushed to make Xie Weiming honest and not make trouble for his business conference, so he had to treat me as a guest. ”

Xiaoya also said happily: "As long as we release this news to Chai Bin, the secretary general of the conference will definitely report it to his big boss as soon as possible. ”

Zhang Mengfei was also very happy to see that his idea could help them, and then introduced Zhao Liang and Xiaoya to the situation of his uncle Wuzhun Mage, so that when Jia Yidao interrogated them, he could deal with them calmly.

Several people kept talking about the end of the third watch, because this place had been contracted by the government for the reception of the conference, and Zhang Mengfei, Xiao Ming Daochang and Inas also had to prevent being recognized by the officials of the Yamen, so they had to say goodbye to Zhao Liang Xiaoya and find another place to rest.

After Zhang Mengfei and the others left, Zhao Liang let Xiaoya sleep on the bed, and he pulled the quilt and made a bunk next to the bed, preparing to spend the night there.

Xiaoya was worried that the floor was too cold and it was easy to get cold when she fell asleep, so she called Zhao Liang to lie on the bed with her.

Zhao Liang was reluctant at first, and he refused to agree, but Xiaoya later lost her temper, her apricot eyes widened, and she scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and climb up for the old lady!" He had no choice but to lie down on the bed.

The two slept side by side, and it was a little difficult to sleep for a while. Xiaoya turned her head to look at Zhao Liang, who was slightly cramped, and suddenly sneered: "Hey, I haven't asked you all this time, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

"Yes," Zhao Liang smiled: "Hehe...... There used to be. What about you? ”

Xiaoya said: "Is Yang Zongbao counted?" ”

Zhao Liang said angrily and funny: "Of course it doesn't count!" To put it this way, Miss Sixue is also my girlfriend. I'm asking you if you have a boyfriend in the real world. ”

"Don't you know what I'm like?" Xiaoya glanced at Zhao Liang: "To the outside world, he is still in prison for hurting people, but in fact, hey, it's almost like going to prison." All day locked up on the eighteenth basement floor, going to work, going back to the dormitory, going back to work, going back to the dormitory. Even if you really have a boyfriend, you have to break down. ”

She turned sideways, faced Zhao Liang, and asked with a smile: "Hey, tell me about it, when did you fall in love?" What type of girlfriend is it? ”

Zhao Liang said angrily: "Why are you so gossipy? What do you care about my love experience? ”

"Oh, it's just a casual chat, why are you so stingy?" Xiaoya asked reluctantly: "Tell me what are you afraid of?" Is there a plot that is inappropriate for children, and is it embarrassing to tell others? ”

Zhao Liang was a little shy by her beautiful eyes, and couldn't help but say: "I said young lady, let's be alone in the same room, you look like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it." ”

Xiao Ya pouted when she heard this: "Bah, what can you do if you can't hold it?" Do you want to know about the twelve-way tendons? ”

"I don't want to," Zhao Liang hurriedly moved to the edge of the bed: "You better stop when you are old, don't accidentally hurt me, a loyal young man." ”

"Why are you hiding so far away, I won't eat you," Xiaoya stretched out her hand and pulled Zhao Liang, and said angrily: "Don't change the topic, you haven't told me about your love history yet." ”

Zhao Liang was so helpless that she had no choice but to ask, "Say, which one do you want to hear?" ”

Xiao Ya was slightly stunned: "Which one?" How many co-authors have you talked about? ”

"Hmm...... Officially, there are three. As for the informal ones, there are a lot of them, and it depends on how they are calculated. If you make the standard card of the measurement a little stricter, there will be about seventeen or eighteen. Zhao Liang's expression looked calm and light.

Hearing this, Xiaoya lay there stunned for a while, and asked weakly, "You, are you serious?" ”

"yes, what's there to fool you? Since I was in high school, I have been nicknamed Little Steel Cannon! ”

"Okay, Zhao Liang, I can't see it, it turns out that you are still a scumbag!" Xiaoya's face was frosty, and she almost kicked Zhao Liang out of bed. However, as soon as her leg was raised, she changed her mind again, and instead pinched Zhao Liang's arm with her hand, which made Zhao Liang grin in pain.

"From the beginning, one by one, honestly!"

Zhao Liang rubbed his arm and said helplessly: "What am I honestly confessing?" You're not my wife! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ya blushed at first, and then said viciously: "As a state agent, your behavior must also be correct, and I am investigating you for the organization." Hurry up, tell me quickly, what shameless things did you do in the first place? ”

Zhao Liang secretly complained in his heart, he was originally talking nonsense, boasting that he had become a veteran of the love field who read countless women, but now Xiaoya's unrelenting posture is useless no matter how he explains.

Advertise, the book-chasing app I've been using recently, cache to read books, and read aloud offline!

In order to deal with this little tigress, Zhao Liang had no choice but to bite the bullet, starting from his crush at the same table in elementary school, and telling his twists and turns, rugged and bumpy failure one by one, until Xiaoya listened to it and fell asleep unconsciously.

Looking at the beautiful girl lying beside him with a smile on her face and falling asleep soundly, Zhao Liang shook his head with a wry smile, and reached out to tuck the other party's quilt.

Suddenly, a heart-pounding feeling surged over him.
