Chapter 51: Humans Are Not as Good as Animals
This year is one of the coolest periods for wanton rumors, because there are too many illiterates, so whenever there are rumors popping up, it must be a cultural person's job!
Yin Township Marshal Li Jie, can this be a cultural person?!
"Clams?! The Yancheng County Division has actually met the king?! β
Gongziba's body trembled, and as soon as he arrived in Gusu, he hadn't even drunk a bowl of lettuce soup when he heard a "bad news".
This Yiyangjun is too unparticular, how can revenge be from morning to night!
"Ba, let's first find out what the Yancheng County Division said when I met the king."
Ying Jian is very calm, it is useless to be anxious at this time.
"Come with me to visit Childe Chou."
"No."
Stopped Ji Ba, Ying Jian Zhengse said, "Yancheng County Division has seen Gongzi Chou before, and if we go again, Gongzi Chou will not meet." β
Gifts may be received, but things may not be done.
Because there is a first come, the first to come, and the Yancheng County Division came first, so naturally he will do things for the Yancheng people first.
"That'...... Asking to see the king directly? β
"No, the Yancheng County Division will arrive first, and we will arrive later. Now I don't know what the Yancheng County Master said, if the question and answer is wrong, I am afraid that the king will complain. β
Seeing Ji Ba's sad face, Ying Jian asked again, "Doctor Gusu, who likes wealth the most?" β
"Since I've been Dazaiko."
"Then prepare a generous gift to visit Dazai."
After all, Ying Jian is a person who has been a secretary, although he is a secretary of a small rookie country, but he still has some experience in corruption and bribery.
Familiar with the road, it belongs to the professional business category.
The two did not go directly to Dazai's mansion, but waited for the arrival of the Yin Xiang fleet at the "city desecration" outside Gusu City.
found a reverse trip to rest, Yingjian and Jiba chatted about Dazai's past, and from Dazai's surname, you can see his roots. It's just that after chatting, Ying Jian was stunned and said: "Dazai, actually migrated from Chu State to Wu?" β
"His royal father is the late Dazai Boyu of the Chu State."
"The son's surname is Boshi?"
"Exactly."
"Hmm...... In this way, I can make some friends with Dazai. β
The roots of Shu Longguo also have to start from Zhou Tianzi's seizure of the world, as the bloodline of the surname Ying, he has a friendship with the Song people, and there is no pressure at all.
Moreover, in the early years, the Shu Long Kingdom was mainly a tributary Chu State, and when Bo Yu was the Dazai of the Chu State, he dealt with "Zhu Shu" a lot. Later, the two sides of Wu and Chu of Shulong Kingdom paid tribute because Wu State belonged to the "rising star".
These two generations of Wu kings really have their own emphasis, the previous generation of Wu kings is to conquer cities and expand their territory, and this generation of Wu kings Gou Chen is to digest the territory they eat, consolidate the existing power at the same time, and begin to export influence to the outside world.
In the entire Jianghuai region, Wu's international influence has initially overwhelmed Chu.
Even in the decades when Wu and Chu were vying for hegemony, and in the recent ten years when King Gou Chen was in power, two generations of Chu kings called King Wu "brother" and "uncle", and this international status was the pinnacle since the establishment of the Wu State.
It is precisely because of the mutual influence of Wu and Chu that exchanges are naturally frequent, and the grandfather of the Dazai of the Wu State is the original Dazai Bo of the Chu State. In his early years, he often dealt with the problem of chaos in "Zhu Shu", and naturally had a lot of dealings with the surname Ying in "Zhu Shu".
At this time, Yingjian ran to the door of Wuguo Dazaizi's house and shouted, "The old man will ask to see him later", even if the gift is less, Ziqi will also meet a Yingjian.
As long as we can meet, half of the matter will be completed, and the remaining half will depend on whether Dazaiko is willing to agree.
"Oh? If so, what should be the gift? β
"Beautiful jade, gold, deer, elk, ramie, and sand eel, these six kinds can be described as 'six treasures', and Dazai will definitely be happy."
"Where did these 'Six Treasures' come from?"
Gongziba looked puzzled, "If you go to the Yin Township to find Shou Li and ask for it, I'm afraid that you will be powerless." β
"This 'Six Treasures' ......" Ying Jian stared at Ji Ba for a long time, "Ba, don't you have them all." β
"Where did I come from...... Well?! β
Ji Ba, who looked confused, was suddenly unhappy, "This beautiful jade and gold have never been in my hands for a day, you ...... How can you act like that! β
"Ahem, my daughter."
ββ¦β¦β
The speechless Gongzi Ba looked sad and angry, thinking that it was better to go and see King Wu by himself. But when you think about it, what the bastard Yingjian said...... Makes sense.
Why are my eyes full of tears? Because I love these golds so much!
"Give and give! Take it, take it, take it! Take away all the jade and gold! Take itβ"
"Ba, why should you deplore this piece of jade and two pieces of gold? If this matter is successful, with Li Bingxing, can you lose your benefits? β
"Hmm...... This statement won my heart, and the first Li was light on wealth, which is rare in the world. β
Ying Jian smiled slightly, and said secretly in his heart: If the world does not love money, it will love the rest!
Since the two of them had made a decision, they prepared a piece of beautiful jade, two pieces of gold, three donkeys, four elk, five stones of ramie, and six baskets of yellow eels in the sand field, made up an auspicious number, and drove directly to Dazai's mansion.
There are not many people in Gusu who have seen donkeys, and when they only saw the gifts of Gongziba and Yingjian, they felt that they were extremely precious.
Before they arrived, the people in Dazaifu began to wonder where to send this gift from the outside. It's best to send it to Dazai's house, it's Lushu, a rare beast.
"I heard that there are rare beasts swaggering by outside?"
"Lord, I heard that it is the Lushu Beast."
In Dazai's house, a middle-aged man in a fancy costume with a flowing beard asked his family curiously.
"Lushu Beast?"
Hearing the name of Lu Shu, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, he was already dignified, he was a handsome and elegant middle-aged man, and his eyes were shining at this moment, which was even more radiant.
"When the old man was a young man in the eastern suburbs of Shangying, he had seen the treasures of the King of Chu, including Lushu."
As if reminiscing about the past, after a moment, he closed his eyes and smiled, "It's a pity that such a rare beast is not owned by the old man." Go and ask the pedestrian to buy one. β
"Yes, Lord."
The family was about to go out, but they saw a servant come to report to him: "Lord, someone who claims to be 'the queen of the deceased' has come to ask for an audience." β
"Gifts?"
"There is beautiful jade and gold."
"This kind of vulgar thing is all in the treasury."
"There are deer elk."
"Ah, since it's the 'old man', it's time to meet and catch up with the past!"
With that, Dazaiko straightened her clothes, and her steps were a little faster, and even her beard and clothes fluttered.
The middle door is wide open to welcome guests.
As an important minister of a big country, this is quite face-giving. Generally speaking, to be able to open the door of Wu Dazai, the people who come must be doctors, sons and the like.
Like a businessman who is rich, he is not even qualified to go through the side door, so he can only go through the side door.
Although Gongziba is also a child, here in Wu Kingdom, he is basically slightly stronger than Shangjia Haofu, and he is qualified to go through the side door.
Ying Jian is the secretary of Shu Long, but here in Wu State, he is not even a fart.
At this moment, the two looked at each other, never expecting that the middle door was wide open.
For a while, Ying Jian smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "This sincerity is that people are not as good as animals. β
