Chapter 288: Secretary-General
Zhang Mengfei first sighed lightly, and then said: "Jia Shixian is from a family of eunuchs, his father is Jia She, a famous anti-gold general, and his sister was elected to the harem and became a concubine. With such a family background, not to mention giving birth to some great offspring, at least you should be full of poetry and books, and you should be reasonable. However, Jia Rudao has been stubborn since he was a child, not only doing evil, but also scheming and bold. He was only thirteen years old, and he was sent to the government because of breaking the law, who knew that this guy went to the court, not only did not have the slightest fear, but also made a noise, first slapped the prefect twice, and through a clever tongue, he simply bluffed the prefect into fear, and finally was beaten and respectfully sent out of the yamen. ”
Jia Rudao later overshadowed his father's title, and at the age of twenty-one, he became the Jiaxing Sicang and Tianling, and in the second year of Jiaxi, that is, when he was twenty-five years old, he was promoted to the rank of Jinshi in the imperial examination high school, and was valued by today's saints, and was promoted to Taichang Cheng and the Weapons Supervisor. But at that time, Jia Rudao still did not change his temperament. Relying on his official position and being favored by the emperor, he behaved indiscriminately, often running to find prostitutes in the daytime, and swimming in the lake at night to have fun. It is said that once, His Majesty climbed high in the imperial city and looked into the distance, but saw the lights on the West Lake, so he asked his entourage what was going on. The attendant opened his mouth and replied: "This must be a teacher." The Emperor sent someone to verify the next day, and it was true. So the saint asked Jing Yin Shi Yanzhi to warn Jia Rudao. As a result, I didn't expect it, and I don't know how Jia Rudao dealt with Shi Yanzhi, this Shi Da came back and said to the emperor: "Although it seems to be a young man, its material can be of great use." "So, the emperor not only did not reprimand Jia Yidao, but sent him to Lizhou to practice."
"Damn, sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials," Zhao Liang couldn't help but complain: "Is it so easy for the second generation of officials to mix?" ”
Zhang Mengfei smiled bitterly: "Not only that, Jia Rudao has only been in office for three years, and he was promoted to the commander of Huguang by the imperial court, began to take charge of the military, and then went all the way to the top. Such an invincible character in the court, with the emperor taking care of him, and hundreds of officials clinging to him, he is also quite talented, as long as his heart is slightly wrong, he will become a scourge of the world. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Mengfei shook his head: "Alas, this is also my Great Song unfortunate, but that guy is really an out-and-out bad seed." ”
Xiao Mingdao frowned, and said anxiously: "Could it be because of the evil in him?" If I succeed in exorcizing the demon and subdue the demon, I may have a chance to save the situation. ”
"It's still the same sentence below, people are good and people are bad, all in one mind." Zhang Mengfei said with a straight face: "Jia seems to say that this son has an unrighteous heart, and it is the same whether there is a demon or a demon soul attached to him." ”
Zhao Liang didn't want the two of them to argue about this matter anymore, so he said: "What Zhang Gongzi said makes sense, the thieves in my heart are all raised by myself, whether to take the right path or the evil path, no wonder external factors." However, I also hope you can understand that we Taoists also have our own duties, and since we find that Jia Rudao has a problem, we can't ignore it. As for whether he will get a little better after exorcism and demon extermination, it's not something we can control. ”
Zhang Mengfei nodded: "I understand the meaning of the three of you." To be honest, I'm just a small martial artist now, and there's no point in commenting on such a big person. Only by gaining fame can we have the opportunity to serve the country, and through upright means, we can resist the erosion of the Great Song Dynasty by faint officials like Jia Yidao. Since you plan to use the Daomen spell to eliminate demons, then I might as well help by the side, even if it is counted
It's to vent the evil anger for Inas, and you can also take a look at Jia Rudao's jokes by the way. ”
After that, he stood up with the trunk of the tree next to him, stretched out his hand and pointed at Jiangzhou City in the distance and said with a smile: "Everyone, let's be full of wine and food, so let's go to find Lord Jia's bad luck together." ”
In order to avoid attracting the attention of the officials in the city, the five of them were divided into two groups, Zhao Liang and Xiao Ya still walked together, while Xiao Ming Dao Chang and Inas accompanied Zhang Mengfei. The two groups of them were about 100 paces apart, followed by the merchant travelers, and entered the city calmly.
As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhao Liang immediately noticed that there was a smell of something wrong everywhere in this Jiangzhou city.
The first thing that caught his eye was the slogan that spread all over the city:
"Jiangzhou is my home, and health depends on everyone!"
"Plastic Xunyang spirit, create Jiangzhou style!"
"The quality of the people is one point higher, and the image of the city is very beautiful!"
"You give Xiaocao a little love, and Xiaocao will give you a piece of green."
"Everyone is responsible for creating a civilized city, where every family benefits."
"No matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about your children, and no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in education!"
"Crack down on illegal business operations and create a fair market order!"
"If you want to be rich, build roads first, have fewer children and grow more trees!"
These eye-catching slogans are all made of red silk cloth and neatly written on the cloth strips with yellow paint, and hung all over the streets and shop doors.
Zhao Liang and Xiaoya looked confused, feeling as if they had come to a small fifth-tier town in the real world.
Among the many red cloth slogans, the one that appeared the most often and attracted their attention the most was: Warmly celebrate the successful convening of the first Jiangzhou Business Conference and the unveiling of Jiangzhou government-run money bank!
Xiaoya couldn't help but stick out her tongue: "My God, this product is too exaggerated, right?" Blatantly copying and copying! ”
Zhao Liang bowed slightly: "Yes, it seems that this traverser has a lot of ambitions, and he plans to build a modern set." ”
"He's just a local official now," Xiao Ya sighed, "When he becomes prime minister in a few years, he will have to copy these strange things throughout the Southern Song Dynasty." At that time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to erase the historical record. ”
Zhao Liang didn't speak, just nodded silently, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to a place next to him.
Xiao Ya followed the direction of his finger, looked up curiously, and found that not far from them there was a large inn with considerable scale and luxurious decoration.
There is a striking sign hanging at the door of the inn, which reads: Jiangzhou Business Conference Designated Reception Hotel.
"Let's go, let's see what's going on over there!" Zhao Liang took Xiaoya's sleeve and walked towards the "Chengfu Inn".
There were still seven or eight steps away from the door of the store, and the guy who was in charge of greeting the guests at the door greeted him and said apologetically: "Two, I'm really sorry, the store has been contracted by the government, and only the representatives who came to the meeting are only accepted these days, and no other business is done to the outside world, you ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Liang said with a big grin: "We are the representatives of merchants who came to participate in the conference. ”
"Huh? Are you a representative? The shopkeeper was stunned when he heard this, looked the two of them up and down, looked at Zhao Liang and Xiaoya in rural coarse cloth clothes, and obviously didn't believe it: "You're not joking with Xiao, right?" ”
Xiao Ya snorted coldly: "What's there to joke about?" Don't judge people by their appearance, we are grain merchants from Lin'an Mansion, and we are also Cao Yun Buying
For help, you can steal book tickets like vegetables, come and steal your friends' book tickets and vote for my book.
Selling, involving tea, silk, timber, medicine more than a dozen categories of freight forwarding, but also operating some export Fanbang sea business. What's wrong? Don't you look down on us, do you? ”
The shopkeeper was dizzy by her, and he didn't dare to question it for a while, and when he was a little overwhelmed, he suddenly heard someone next to him say, "Oh? It turned out that the two were big businessmen from the imperial city, and they were disrespectful! ”
Zhao Liang and Xiaoya turned their heads when they heard this, and saw that the person talking next to them was a young man in his twenties, well-dressed and polite, not only handsome in spirit, but also with a friendly attitude and a lovely smile.
When the shopkeeper saw that it was him, he immediately put on a smile and greeted him politely: "Chai Daguan is here, the little one will give you a gift." It just so happened that these two distinguished guests just said that they had come from Lin'an to attend a business conference. ”
As he spoke, he introduced Zhao Liang and Xiaoya again: "This is the richest man in our Jiangzhou, Chai Bin and Chai Daguan, and also the secretary of the conference of this realm...... Oh, Secretary General. Chai Daguan was appointed by Jia Zhizhou to be responsible for preparing for this conference. In addition, he is also the largest private ...... in Jiangzhou's government-run money village What's going on with the people? Oh yes, private capital shareholders! Since you two are here to attend the meeting, you should naturally meet with our Chai officials. ”
As soon as Zhao Liang and Xiaoya heard the word "secretary general", they immediately guessed that this was a new term that could only be thought up by the traverser.
I saw Chai Bin smiling slightly, intervening and saying, "Under Chai Bin Chai Siqi, I have met two friends. Don't know the name of the high surname? What is the name of the Guibao? ”
Zhao Liang hurriedly clenched his fists and returned the salute: "Zhao Liang in Xia Lin'an, this is the clumsy Jing Zheng clan." We do a lot of husband and wife business, so we have a lot of names, hehehe......"
Although Chai Bin is not very old, he has obviously been in the mall for a long time and is quite sophisticated, seeing Zhao Liang's vague appearance, he smiled faintly: "Look at Brother Zhao's meaning, I shouldn't have received an invitation to our business conference before, right?" ”
"It's not a secret, it's true," Zhao Liang was also thick-skinned, and continued to flicker: "The two of us came here to buy goods and talk about business, and it happened to be their meeting, and I heard that Jiangzhou held a business event, and there was also a government-run money village unveiled and opened, I couldn't help but feel very admired and happy, so I took the liberty to come here and wanted to see the style." Chai Daguan, you won't be unwelcome, right? ”
Although Zhao Liang is dressed very ordinarily, and even looks a little shabby, in Chai Bin's eyes, the other party is calm, sparse in conversation, and has a Yonghua and self-contained style, which is obviously not an ordinary person.
So he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly said, "Oh, Brother Zhao is serious." You and Mrs. Zun can come to Jiangzhou to participate in the grand event, how can we not welcome it? If you want to blame, it is only to blame that our conference was held in a hurry, and many good friends in the business world failed to take care of them one by one in advance, so that they neglected Brother Zhao and Guibao. Please forgive me for the faux pas. Come on, let's drink tea and talk inside, come, please inside! ”
After that, Chai Bin greeted Zhao Liang and Xiaoya warmly, and walked into the lobby of Chengfu Inn together.
With the guidance of Chai Bin, the richest man in the local area and the secretary general of the business conference, the conference staff who greeted the delegates from all over the world in the store naturally regarded Zhao Liang and the two as guests. Even Niu Dayou, the owner of Chengfu Inn, came to greet them in person, and invited them to the exquisite private room in the backyard, serving fragrant tea and fruits, and treating them hospitablely.
Zhao Liang and Xiaoya are both people who are used to seeing big scenes, and of course they are calm and calm about this situation, without any cramped feeling at all. Just the kind of noble posture reflected in their words and deeds can't help but Chai Bin and Niu have a secret heartbreak.
