Ding Pi also helped on the side, and said with a smile: "Eldest Sun Hong, Lord Li rarely opens this kind of mouth, you have to think about it." ”

Probably in order to alleviate the embarrassment, Grandmaster Dao Mei looked at Li Jie with a smile, and echoed: "Yes, yes, Lord Li is generous, sympathetic to the people's feelings, jealous and hateful, rewards and punishments are clear, and never treats meritorious people badly, you don't have to be shy, just say it boldly, anything can be." ”

The first few sentences of his words were a little illogical, but the latter sentence was the point, the sentence "never treat meritorious people badly" said extremely hard, staring at Li Jie's eyes with the meaning of begging and begging for mercy, as if there were words in the words.

Sure enough, Li Jie snorted, looked at him squarely, but didn't scold him again.

Changsun Hong saw it in his eyes, and the relationship between the two of them was probably not as simple as that of superiors and subordinates, most of them were secretly involved, but they had nothing to do with themselves. 、

After a few turns in his heart, Changsun Hong immediately had a plan, he straightened his waist, straightened his body, and said loudly: "Thank you, my lord, but the grass people's family is farming for food, relying on the sky to eat, thanks to the blessing of adults, the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years, and the year is considerable." There is a place to live, you can shelter from the wind and rain, the fields have a product, you can live with food and clothing, you really don't need the help of adults, thank you for your kindness. ”

His words were sonorous and powerful, and the aftermath was lingering, so that everyone in the hall was stunned, Li Jie twisted his beard, his eyes were wide open, and he was particularly surprised.

Someone actually refused the kindness of the transshipment envoy?

Ding Pi and Grandmaster Dao were also stunned, sitting and not knowing what to say, is this kid stupid or pedantic?

Slightly taken aback, Li Jie nodded: This kid is not shocked by honor and disgrace, he is brave and knowledgeable, but he is precious, and it is even more rare to be tempted to be unmoved.

After a pause, seeing that several people had a different meaning, the eldest grandson Hongcai straightened his chest, and said: "But a relative of the grass people, in the state city for business, originally a local rich man, to paper-making business, the name of the store is Rui Fuxiang, the production and marketing of the Great Song Dynasty, extremely well-known, but the way of business, Chaochang twilight, the market in the past two years bearish, profits have been greatly reduced, almost can not support it, it is about to close the door, ask the adults can be gracious, help me this relative?" ”

"Oh? Help? Li Jie was surprised again, he didn't expect Changsun Hong to make this request, he blinked his eyes and looked at the grandmaster.

Grandmaster Dao's soul was clear, and he immediately replied: "Rui Fuxiang, is a paper mill in my Hezhou, ancestral craftsmanship, opened for decades, a few years ago it was indeed very prosperous, and also sponsored the Hezhou Cultural Association many times, but in recent years, the paper mill has opened a lot, and the operation is difficult, and I don't know how to do it this time." ”

When Li Jie heard this, he slapped his right hand on the arm of the chair: "I remember, the paper used in the venue has the inscription of Rui Fuxiang, is it that one?" ”

Grandmaster Dao hesitated for a moment, these things are all in the hands of the scribes below, how did he know.

Changsun Hong didn't embarrass him, and raised his voice: "Exactly! My lord, all the paper used in this meeting was provided by Rui Fuxiang, and my relatives took the new paper that had just been trialed --- Sai Wenkui in order to make the meeting look magnificent. ”

"Oh, yes, Sai Wenkui!" Li Jie patted the handrail again: "It's that terrible name, I said whose paper name is so domineering, but it's yours?" ”

"It's from my relative's." Changsun Hong corrected him.

"I've seen that paper, it's very good." Li Jie said: "With such a good paper, how can you get into trouble?" ”

Changsun Hong sighed, lowered his head and said: "Don't hide it, my lord, the Great Song Dynasty is doing business, everything is good, but there are a lot of tax items, and the tax money is sometimes higher than the profit, and the competition in various places is big, and the cost of transportation to other places is high, where can I make money?" So my relative's family is struggling right now, and it's really difficult to do business. ”

Li Jie raised his head and leaned back: "This...... The official can't help him, the business is good, it all depends on himself, someone wants the buyer to be profitable, how can the government help him? ”

"Yes, my lord, I can help." Eldest Sun Hong arched his hand, his expression was sincere, and he bowed slightly: "The grass people are brave, can you ask the adults to reward the origin of the transfer envoy?" Let my relatives go out without being blackmailed by the locality, reduce taxes, reduce costs, and in this way, get out of the predicament just around the corner. ”

Ding Pi and Grandmaster Dao's bodies sat up straight all of a sudden, and they glanced at each other, their faces changed slightly.

Why? The reason for the transfer of the envoy!

How dare this kid speak!

Li Jie's expression also became serious, he resumed his posture of leaning forward, his brows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "The reason for the transfer of the envoy is not sent out casually, this is in charge of the household department of the imperial court, each of which has a record, and the big seal of the household department and the transfer envoy is stamped, which is equivalent to transporting goods for the imperial court, you are a paper mill, non-official and non-military, it is too far-fetched to take it, I can't give it." ”

I know that you are not willing to give it happily.

Changsun Hong had already expected it, he proposed this, but according to the psychology of negotiation, if you want the other party to accept your request, you must first put forward a request that the other party cannot accept, and after the other party refuses, then take out the real request, at this moment the other party because of the refusal once, there is a psychological impact, and the next less excessive requirements will be relaxed, and it is very likely to reach an agreement.

So he bowed his head in disappointment, and said in disappointment: "I thought the reward of the adults ...... I just said that anything is fine. ”

The twelve-year-old boy was rejected because he hoped to get the promised reward, showing a disappointed and uncomfortable look, which was very embarrassing for Li Jie, who was ashamed of his words just now.

Li Jie didn't mention it in one breath, the stalk was in his throat, he coughed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Anything is fine, but it's too much, kid, you say another one, don't say such a big one, say something practical." ”

When he said this, he glared at the Grandmaster Dao fiercely.

Just now, it was the kite that the Grandmaster flew and asked for anything.

Grandmaster Dao knew that he was speechless, and opened his mouth, his face red and white.

"That'...... Can you let Rui Fuxiang's goods go with you when the Caoyun fleet goes out? Changsun Hong didn't hesitate at all, and immediately said it, so fast that it was doubtful that he was prepared.

And he added: "The grass people make this request, if it doesn't work, the grass people don't need anything else, just thank you for your kindness." ”

Li Jie was stunned again, let's go? Isn't this a change of saying that Rui Fuxiang's goods were transported out by the company's ship?

He thought about it, and it seemed to have the same effect as sending him a reason.

Ding Pi and Grandmaster Dao looked at Changsun Hong in surprise, feeling that this young man's reaction was too fast, and his brain was flexible, if one path didn't work, he would change the path, and lead to the same goal.

"This ......" Li Jie touched his chin and hesitated, he pondered for a moment and looked at Ding Pi and the Grandmaster.

Grandmaster Dao lowered his head and said nothing, Ding Pi looked at him as if he was watching a play.

Of course, you can't let the people who set up the envoys have fun, otherwise the next day others will say it, Ambassador Li broke his promise with red lips and white teeth, bullied a teenager who saved his life, and let him mix in the officialdom?

Li Jie gritted his teeth, nodded, and said solemnly: "Okay, this request, this official agreed, I will write a letter, you take it, you can use it in any place on the fourth road of Sichuan Gorge to transfer the yamen, as long as the transfer judges from all over the country see it, they will naturally agree to your request." ”

He thought for a while, and then said: "This letter can only be used by you, not to be transferred to others, let alone to be deceived and deceived, to do evil, if this official finds out, he will definitely take it back immediately, and you will be punished!" ”

Changsun Hong was ecstatic in his heart, the ancients negotiated and were still not as insidious as modern people, he suppressed the joy in his heart, didn't let himself laugh, bowed deeply, and thanked him in a deep voice: "Thank you, my lord, the grass people must remember." ”
