After Xiao Jing explained, he distributed the materials at hand to everyone. He smiled and said to Yousufu: "I heard that your business is getting better and better, and now two percent of the goods shipped to Beihu are yours?" ”

Speaking of business, Yousufu immediately danced with his eyebrows: "Don't hide it from the son, I'm afraid that twenty percent will be said to be less, and I think there will be at least thirty percent." This is sold to the Beihu tribes, if you talk about the things that are sold to the royal court...... Hehe, it's not that we are boasting, the nobles of the steppe can't do without my caravan. ”

Xiao Jing just said a faint "um".

Yousufu rolled his eyes, and said, "I will follow the orders of the prince, and most of the things sold to the royal court are luxury and rare things. The tapestries and spices of the great food, the silk, wine, and tea of the Central Plains, and the beads and gems of the South China Sea, the people there like them very much.

In addition, the caravan also sent a lot of Persian slave girls over, many nobles rushed to buy them, and some even drew their swords to fight for the beautiful female slaves......"

Xiao Jing nodded with satisfaction.

Among any emerging forces, there will be nouveau riche who "one person attains the Tao and the chicken dog ascends to heaven", and the new royal court of Beihu is no exception. What Xiao Jing has to do is to use the luxurious life and the enjoyment they have never experienced before to consume the minds of these people, so that they can indulge in it and cannot extricate themselves.

If in the future, these people lose themselves in the sound of dogs and horses, and become drunkards with big bellies, who can no longer get on a horse, and can't pull a bow, then Xiao Jing's goal will be achieved. No matter how good Lu Chong is, he can't take a group of local chickens and dogs to fight the world!

Yusuf, who is very good at observing words and feelings, hit the railroad while it was hot: "I was originally a wealthy businessman, but it was just barely doing business in Darui." Without Childe's help, how could my caravan reach the far reaches of Beihu? How can you get Da Rui's goods at a low price, and how can you have people everywhere when you pass through the pass city, and you won't be troubled at all? In the next day, it all depends on the support of the child, but the son has orders, how dare I not do my best? ”

Xiao Jing smiled when he heard this: "You don't have to put all the credit on me. I made some efforts, but in the final analysis, it was you who opened up the trade route yourself, and Xiao admired this business talent very much.

Although I have found all of you here through various channels, you are not my subordinates. What we do is a good thing that each takes what he needs and is beneficial to each other, so it is impossible to say who belongs to whom, and such kind words will not be mentioned in the future. ”

The crowd didn't even dare to say it. Xiao Jing politely ended the meeting for another long time, and personally sent their carriage and horses outside the town.

Looking at the dust on the post road in the distance, he lowered his head thoughtfully.

Even if the Xia family has hands and eyes to the sky, they can't let Yusuf's caravan enjoy convenient treatment everywhere in Da Rui's territory. So, who else gave him special treatment?

Maybe some people are happy with his arrangement, so they open the door to convenience?

I guess so.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jing paced back to the newspaper office. When I entered the courtyard gate, I saw a middle-aged man sitting high in the hall.

It's only been a short time since you've been out for a while?

He walked up briskly to greet the guests, but as soon as he reached the door, his pace slowed.

The feeling this man gives him...... Weird.

Xiao Jing, a middle-aged man with a handsome face, has seen a lot, such as his father-in-law Xia Honghan, who is a mature and handsome uncle who can charm a young girl if he is thrown into the future generations. This is thanks to the good genes of the Xia family, otherwise he would not have been able to give birth to a daughter with such a peerless appearance as Xue'er.

But the man in front of him ...... There is a bit of femininity in his handsome face, which makes Xiao Jing feel like Lin Pingzhi and Yue Buqun, who have practiced magic skills in the rivers and lakes, and there is always a trace of indescribable difference compared to ordinary people.

Looking at his face, his white face did not have half a beard; Sniff hard, there seems to be some faint aroma in the air, this is ...... Powder?

Xiao Jing's heart chuckled. Is it a eunuch?

People who have been purified are often prone to urine because their body structure is destroyed, and the whole person will have some stench, so eunuchs generally use incense powder to cover up the smell on their bodies.

Although he was surprised in his heart, his face was unmoved, and he said with a smile: "This minister is invited, I don't know what you are doing here today?" ”

The man didn't answer, just looked at him with his eyes, and said after a long time: "People say that the uncle of the Xia family is the best among people, and today I saw that it was really extraordinary, and Lord Xia had a good eye." ”

Xiao Jing couldn't stand the politeness of the ancients who came up and didn't talk about the right thing but first made a fool of himself, but he still responded: "You praise it falsely, Xiao Mou is just a little vain, and he really can't afford such praise." ”

The man smiled and said, "It's not a false compliment, our family is very curious about the son-in-law of the boss Xia Shilang, but he hasn't freed his hand." If it weren't for the fact that the official position was too small and the body was incomplete, I was afraid that the reputation of the Xia family would be damaged by visiting the house, and I might have seen the son a few years ago. ”

Xiao Jing was stunned. He deliberately didn't express his suspicions, but he didn't expect people to admit it as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hearing him mention his father-in-law for the second time, Xiao Jing didn't dare to slack off, and solemnly arched his hand: "I don't know your name yet, can I see the teaching?" ”

The man also stopped selling Guanzi, and said with a smile: "Our family name is Zhang, and now we are in charge of the internal and external teaching workshops as the envoy of the teaching workshop." Several adults in the Ministry of Rites are the bosses of our family, but only Lord Xia is the closest to us subordinates, and everyone also thinks of him. Speaking of which, our family's official position is still lower than that of Gongzi, and we still have to pay homage to Gongzi. ”

Xiao Jing suddenly froze: his father-in-law once mentioned him during a casual conversation!

He was once one of the most powerful eunuchs around the first emperor, and was once regarded as a popular candidate to reach the pinnacle of eunuchs. However, after the death of the first emperor, his good fortune came to an end: first he was disliked by His Majesty today, and then he made a mistake that was not big or small, and was sent to the workshop by the end, and then he has been working in obscurity until today.

Such a "story" character came in person, and it shouldn't have been to see the young handsome.

While his mind was racing rapidly, Xiao Jing's movements in his hands were also very fast. He grabbed the envoy who wanted to salute, and said hurriedly: "Father-in-law, why is this, I have tormented Xiao." ”

In fact, not every eunuch can be honored as a father-in-law, but it is obvious that the resume and age of the person in front of him are qualified to be called so by others.

Father-in-law Zhang took advantage of the situation to straighten up, sat down under Xiao Jing's support, and sighed: "It's rare that someone is willing to call our father-in-law, you are a good young man." ”

It can be seen that this "good" is the most sincere compliment since he entered the door.

After sitting down, he looked at Xiao Jing and said, "Why did our family come here today, you should also have a clue, right?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Jing's face showed a look of understanding, Father-in-law Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "He Wan'er! ”
