"Small countries have the difficulties of small countries, and big countries also have the difficulties of big countries, both of which are difficult." Listening to Song Juecheng's exclamation, Bai Gui echoed on the side.

"In this world of great contention, it is even more difficult for small countries. I have already seen that the fate of a small country is ultimately perdition. Today's Great Zhou Dynasty is already in name only. Although we still have such a Great Zhou Emperor and the Great Zhou Dynasty, our Great Zhou Heavenly Son can't even support himself. The civil and military officials under him also expect to receive money from him......"

"In the current Great Zhou Dynasty, there are no more civil and military officials, they are all just hanging official titles, but there is nothing to do. Now the civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty have all gone to fend for themselves. Hang up an official of the Zhou Dynasty, just to receive an extra portion. If you can get it, you can earn it, but if you can't get it, you're still an official, and the officials of the Zhou Dynasty are bigger than the officials below the princes in terms of face......"

The two talked about the major vassal states from the existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty in name only, and then talked about the hegemony of the world from the major vassal states.

Why? When a vassal state is strong, it wants to fight for hegemony? Instead of thinking about developing people's livelihood?

Why? When a vassal state is strong, it will be opposed and suppressed by other princes?

Through a long conversation, Bai Gui felt more and more that Song Cucheng was not simple, he knew everything, knew astronomy and geography, and he also had his own opinions on managing the country. Unfortunately, he was born in the Song Kingdom, in the family of Sicheng Zihan.

If he was born in the state of Chu, or in a large country like the state of Qi and Wei, if he could inherit the position of king, he would also be able to govern the country well......

The two talked about the Song Kingdom from the princes and countries of the world, returned to the topic, and talked about what the Song Kingdom is facing now.

"Please rest assured! This incident was caused by me Bai Gui, and I will stand up and explain it. It's none of your business, it's all because of someone! I will send a letter to their kings, telling them what I am doing, and asking them to withdraw their armies!" ”

"Then thank you so much Brother Bai!"

When Song Quecheng heard this, he hurriedly left his seat and respectfully gave Bai Gui a big salute.

"Where, where! Bai can't afford it! I can't stand it! ”

Bai Gui also hurriedly left his seat and came over to return the gift to Song Juecheng.

Song Juecheng's pretending ratio made Bai Gui dare not be a little lazy, and he was careful everywhere.

According to the Zhou etiquette, according to human nature, it is impossible for the king of a country to give you such a great gift. And Song Kuicheng acted so unreasonably, he gave Bai Gui a big gift, and he didn't look like a king at all, he was completely like a country man, like a businessman, like a parent.

"Where? Where? Song Kuicheng pressed Bai Gui to the seat, returned to the seat himself, and said: "You are being held hostage in my Song country, as the king of a country, I have an unshirkable responsibility, I should apologize to you!" I should compensate you for all your losses. I? ……”

Bai Gui stretched out his hand to stop: "Don't say it!" It was me who was careless! Accidentally. Alas! I? Alas! My mother-in-law? She regretted it too! I don't blame her! She is a person who escaped death, there is a problem with her head, she is not the Dai Liuer of the past, I understand! Understand! ”

"That's it! It is! Where would Dai Liu'er be such a person? Isn't it? She was thinking about her son, so she was confused for a while. Don't talk about this! Don't say anything that makes people unhappy. Come on, come on! Drink! ……”

When two smart people talk together, it is natural to get to the point. When it comes to the key points, I won't ask any more questions.

If you have a bad brain, or if you think you are smart, you will definitely continue to ask questions, so that the other party will show her true form.

"I have always been interested in cooperating with Song to develop the minerals of Song Kingdom. But? For a variety of reasons, eventually! There is no cooperation ......"

Bai Gui had to change the topic, ostensibly sighing, but in fact, he took the initiative to show goodwill.

"Where? Where? Brother Bai knows! During the period of the monarch, due to the political instability, the main energy was spent on the power struggle of the internal Qing Dynasty. After I took over the Song Kingdom, I didn't have my own power, and most of the power was still in the hands of the people arranged by my father. I want to get the power back, but I'm afraid that if they don't give it, it will cause turmoil. Don't come back, many of them see that I am cowardly, and take the opportunity to pinch me......"

Song Juecheng also told the truth, since he took over the Song Kingdom, he had to fight for power, take back power from those who did not listen to him, and arrange for his cronies to take over. Those who obeyed the father in the time of the king's father. But in his time, things changed. The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier, that's what it means.

And also! There are many people whose power was given to some people during the monarch's time due to external pressure and other reasons. When these people saw that the new king had come to power, they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to start an incident.

And also! Many people think that he is cowardly and does not take him seriously. In a word! After Song Cucheng took over the Song Kingdom, there were many things to deal with. So! When it comes to governing the country, it is not taken into account.

It is precisely because of the "Dai family taking the Song" during the Sicheng Zihan period to the Song Dynasty that the Song State took over the Song State during this period of time, and the Song State had no time to take care of cooperating with Shang Shengbai Gui.

"Since I am so close to Song Jun, as for the development of minerals, I have covered the capital and technology, and Song Jun has the final say in terms of operation and profit distribution. I'm a businessman, but I'm still a righteous person, how? ”

"This?" Song Quecheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Everything is invested and operated by you, and the profits are also distributed by you, and we Song Guo are not involved." What we want is profit, you give me profit, I give you the right to develop minerals. How is it? ”

The two discussed the distribution of profits again, and Bai Gui insisted that Song Kuicheng have the final say, and Song Kuicheng pushed everything to Bai Gui.

At last! Bai Gui also said truthfully: "I don't want profits, you just give me back the capital I invested." ”

"This? This? This? Song Quecheng saw that Bai Gui still knew each other very well, and he knew his identity and situation, so he no longer pretended.

also told the truth: "Our Song country is poor, and we may not be able to repay your capital for a while, but!" So be it! We're all smart people, so let's not beat around the bush. Don't talk about any profit anymore. Brother White! And so it is! You will slowly recoup your costs in proportion to your profits in the future! How is it? ”

"In that case! I will charge a certain amount of profit as a cost to recover my cost according to the operation situation to ensure normal operation and profit, how about it? ”

After talking about the development of minerals, Bai Gui transferred the two coral trees and the dozen night pearls dedicated to Dai Daguan to Song Juecheng.

Shang Shengbai Gui is so good at using treasures and wealth.

In the hearts of ordinary people, Bai Gui may be distressed or puzzled when he dedicates the coral tree and the night pearl to Dai Daguan. But he didn't care! The eyes don't blink.

Only when he dedicates these treasures to Song Juecheng this time, we will probably understand some truth.

Wealth is not important to us, it is important how we use it.

For Bai Gui, no one can say who these treasures belong to in the end. Before they were dedicated to Dai Daguan, I don't know how many people had passed through these treasures, and how many people thought they were theirs. But finally! It still fell into the hands of his Bai Gui.

He is now dedicating it to Song Quecheng, and in the end it is inconclusive whether it belongs to Song Quecheng.
