The preparations that should be made have been done as much as possible, and various affairs have been quietly advanced, in addition to always paying attention to all aspects of intelligence, Zhao Yuan is now sitting firmly in Diaoyutai and waiting for things to change.

In Jianyang County, a large team is marching, and they are the Qin envoys who went to Danling, whose surname is Meng and his name is Lingling.

The DPRK and China have been arguing endlessly about the candidates for this mission, and they have quarreled to the court. Emperor Meng Chang was really annoyed, so he sent Meng Muling. This Meng Muling is a very interesting person, this person has some relationship with the royal family, and he is still Meng Chang's third uncle in terms of generation, but this is not the point, the point is that this person is extremely greedy for money and stingy.

How stingy this person is, that is, the kind of stinginess with a family fortune of 100,000 yuan and a meal of gruel and rice, which is the same for others and for himself.

Generally, such people don't have a good IQ, and Meng Muling is indeed such a person.

Originally, he was extremely reluctant to make such a trip, and Meng Chang, who was dizzy by the quarrels of the ministers of the DPRK and China, thought of him as a very popular "marginal figure", so he sent him out.

"Third master, you have good luck this year, what kind of gray plain Zhao Erlang, I heard that he is a master with a lot of money, and there must be a lot of oil and water on this trip." Meng Muling's "dog legs" master Meng Huan said with a chrysanthemum face.

"That's not it, the emperor just can't bear that my third uncle is so poor that he can't even afford to drink porridge, so he let me make such a trip, if I don't experience the emperor's hard work, this is still freezing weather, just follow our group of people, do you think I will come to this trip!" Meng Muling, Meng Sanye, looked arrogant.

"Third master, the little one may not be good to say, this group of people said that they were here to assist us in checking this Zhao Erlang, but in fact, who knows if they are here to share the benefits of the third master." Meng Huan glanced vigilantly at the group of people who followed behind.

"I, is the third master's benefits so easy to be divided, it depends on whether this Zhao Erlang understands by then, if he is sensible, the third master guarantees that he is fine, if he is ...... Hey. The fat on Meng Muling's face trembled.

"Then there must be no problem, maybe at this time, what kind of gray plain Zhao Erlang is preparing silver, waiting to honor the third master." Meng Huan laughed loudly, and the hand in his sleeve quietly touched the cash exchange ticket that was "unknown from an unknown source, do a little favor", and the object of this trip must be very "sensible".

In the second half of the envoy procession, the personnel of each family also marched all the way, chatting about the goal of the trip all the way.

"Manager Wang, I heard that the third young master of your family is here in Danling, and he has a lot of contact with this Zhao Erlang, and I heard that he is still a good friend, so you just go over to check, in case your third young master is unhappy, you will not be able to handle it at that time!"

"I have my lord's warrant with me, so Commander Li doesn't have to worry about this."

"What do you know about us, the incoming Lord Meizhou Thorn, our group of people is about to see him, let's talk about it at this time!"

"The person who knows the most about the situation in Danling here, I think it is none other than the king who knows the affairs of the Privy Council, Lord Wang's family, is in charge of you, or you can tell us all, oh, and the Zhang family."

"How do you know anything, it's just that you have some business dealings with the businessmen under our distant relatives of the Wang family, do you think these businessmen's things can enter the ears of my master? In addition, there are also a lot of businessmen here in Danling! Mr. Wang said disdainfully.

"The business of the merchant is just a small road, but now this person who is engaged in the business of the merchant has somehow entered the ears of the emperor, and the ancestral tomb is smoking, and he suddenly became the chief official of a state, which is not simple."

"It's really, isn't it just a vassal text like a script, how did it get into the eyes of the emperor, you have to know how much the history of a state is worth!"

"Be cautious, can this be measured by money?"

……

At this time, bribery has already become a common practice in Houshu, and the promotion of officials at all levels is already a matter of clear pricing, but the chief officials of a state are still controlled by major families, and they cannot be bought with money.

Zhao Yuan's sudden promotion will attract attention at all levels, not only because he is such a famous person who suddenly rose to a high position, causing the shock of the Houshu court, but also because he broke the unspoken rules of the current Houshu society.

When it is really about vital interests, in the eyes of these families, it is impossible to be too careful, especially for such a large amount of benefits that can be imagined.

Danling City, Zhao Yuan's manor.

"So, the head of the Chin Mission is such a 'wonderful person'?" Zhao Yuan put down the letter in his hand and said with a smile.

"Yes, master, the focus of this matter now is not in this Meng Qin envoy, but in the group of people who followed, and in the fact that we must not let this group of people find out our details, otherwise, we really can't carry it." Shao Meng nodded and replied.

"The population inventory in Danling has been completed, and even those mountain people who are begging for a living in the deep mountains and old forests have been registered, and all the passages to enter Danling have been set up, and all outsiders are under our noses." Shao Meng said with a smile.

"Everything that should be done has been done, but we can control people, but we can't control people's mouths, although we have brought a lot of benefits to everyone, but people's hearts are insufficient, and there are always people who can't get used to us."

Zhao Yuan took a long breath, Houshu has not been around for a long time, and it is best not to affect the established history of his own appearance, and let the decaying Houshu remain in history.

"It's full, and the time is only half a year."

"Continue to inquire about the news, and when the Qin mission arrives outside the city, we will personally go to greet us." Zhao Yuan muttered a sentence and asked Shao Meng to start arranging the reception of the Qin delegation.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the personnel of the Qin Mission this time, the situation was pressing, and when things came to this point, Zhao Yuan would not let people pick out the thorns in etiquette.

Things have been dealt with in the past, and there is a tiger skin on his body, although it has not been effective for long, but more layouts can be made.

……

Time passed, and the group of the large-scale imperial court Qin delegation also arrived in Danling, and Zhao Yuan and the officials of Danling came outside the city to welcome the arrival of the Qin mission.

"You are Zhao Yuan and Zhao Erlang?" Meng Muling looked arrogant, stared at Zhao Yuan for a long time, and then said in an arrogant tone.

"Meet Lord Qin, the next official Danling County Commander Zhu Congwen, this is Lord Zhao Yuan Zhao." Zhu Congwen saw Zhao Yuan frowning slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.

"Oh, it doesn't look any different from the others, so let's leave it at that, is the place to live ready?" Meng Muling didn't wait for Zhao Yuan to speak, so he walked towards the city first.

"Sir?" Shao Meng approached Zhao Yuan and shouted softly.

"It's okay, it's just a dismount, it's still a very low-level dismount." Zhao Yuan laughed and looked carefully at the rest of the Qin Mission, the people who wanted to pay attention were all here.

"Report to the envoy, Lord Zhao and the lower officials have prepared a banquet and a place to stay for all the distinguished guests from the capital in the city." The county ordered Zhu Congwen to hurry to the front to lead the way.

"Lord Zhao, we have admired the name for a long time, and we will have a good drink with the adults later." Manager Wang couldn't help but smile when he saw Meng Muling's performance, and greeted Zhao Yuan.

"Dare to ask......" Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"I am from the Wang family, and I am the chief manager of the house, and the third young master of our family has taken care of you." After Mr. Wang finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao Yuan in a rather close manner.

"It turned out to be Mr. Wang, disrespectful and disrespectful, Mr. Wang, please." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, I heard Wang Pinxuan talk about this person, and among the people who suppressed his room, this person was the main force.

In the Qin Mission, the representatives of each family basically greeted Zhao Yuan, letting Zhao Yuan know the weight of the group of people who came this time.

"Zhu County Order, this Zhao Yuan Zhao Erlang, is his family very rich?" Meng Muling, who was walking in front, pulled Zhu Congwen and asked mysteriously.

"This ......" Zhu Congwen was a little dumbfounded, Lord Qin didn't look cold and not easy to contact, how could the contrast be so big, "It should be relatively rich, Xia Guan doesn't know too much about Lord Zhao's family wealth." ”

"That's money, it's good to have money, it's good to have money!" Meng Muling almost danced.
