Chapter 12: Going to the Feast
Yang Muqin wanted to say something else, but was slapped on the shoulder by Liu Yeqiang, "Don't say it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiaoyang's face was full of anger, but he wanted to listen to Liu Yeqiang's command, so he had to shut up at this time.
Seeing that Yang Muqin no longer spoke, Liu Yeqiang arched his hand towards Liu Chuanzhi and said, "What General Liu said is very true, every word is from the bottom of my heart, and I must remember it in my heart, thank you for reminding me!" ”
"Good, good!" Liu Chuanzhi was quite happy when he saw that the man was so upright, nodded again and again, and took a sip of the teacup. Yang Muqin glanced at the sun outside, raised his hand to look at his watch, and quietly leaned into Liu Yeqiang's ear and whispered, "Brother Liu, it's almost five o'clock, it's time to eat, right?" ”
Although Liu Chuanzhi is over fifty years old, his ears are very sensitive, he heard all of Yang Muqin's whispers just now, and said with a smile at the moment, "Don't worry, the banquet has already been prepared." As he spoke, he stood up and was about to give an order, when he saw a personal soldier running in from outside, saluted and said, "Your Excellency, someone has come up from the Governor's Mansion, and I want to invite you to the sea-" After a pause in his speech, he swallowed the word "thief" vividly, but then he didn't know what to call these pirates, and after a little delay, he also remembered what to say, and hurriedly continued, "Please go to the Governor's Mansion to talk about it." ”
The pro-soldier raised his head after speaking, but Liu Chuanzhi was taken aback, there were two bruises on the pro-soldier's face, and at a glance, he knew that he had been beaten out not long ago. He quickly stood up and asked, "How did you get the wound on your face?" ”
"My lord, this ......" The soldier hesitated again, but immediately continued, "Didn't the little ones go to the south gate today on the orders of the adults to greet you maritime lords?" The maritime merchants arrived after noon today, just in time for a group of servants from the Governor's Mansion of Annam to invite the maritime merchants. The little ones aren't thinking that the things delivered by the master can't be done, right? That's the fight with the servants. ”
"What?" Liu Chuanzhi himself had white sweat on his back, although these soldiers under his command had blue noses and swollen faces, but this group of Chinese came to his own mansion, needless to say, they must have won. But can this thing be won? He is just a military general, even if he has jurisdiction over several thousand households in Annan Province, he still has to belong to the governor's moderation. I think that Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, led his army north to attack Houjin, but suffered a crushing defeat in Guangping. Liaodong Jingluo Xiong Tingbi and Liaodong Governor Wang Huazhen have always been at odds, but in that case, they still led the only Shanhaiguan garrison of 5,000 people out of the customs to rescue Wang Huazhen. But in the end, Wang Huazhen put all the blame on Xiong Tingbi, so that Xiong Tingbi ended up with a head in a different place.
The Wu Dynasty has always governed the military with civility, and often the highest military commander in a place is a few levels higher than the local governor, but it must be controlled by civilian officials. Now that this matter is about to come out, it goes without saying that the group of servants who lost the battle will definitely go to the governor's mansion and cry to the governor, saying how arrogant and domineering their subordinates are. Usually he has some communication with the governor, although it is not deep, but he also knows that the governor is a calf protector. If you make such a fuss now, you won't have a good time in the future.
Immediately, he stood up and arched his hand towards the three of them, "Since the governor has been invited, then please go to the governor's mansion with the three officials, and I will come back later to have a good time." ”
Where does Liu Yeqiang not know about this? At that time, when he was fighting at the city gate, he knew that this thing would definitely cause something, but he was an outsider and had no choice, so he had to let it go. Anyway, no one on either side will fight the people of the northbound detachment, so they just watch the excitement from the sidelines, and whoever wins will go with whom, but it is Yang Muqin, this guy, who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, stands on the roof of the car and yells and yells at the below, giving advice on how to make a move, and giving advice to the people who are fighting below.
Seeing that the general's face began to turn pale, he hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, "Since the governor is invited, we are naturally guests and the host, so let's go and meet the governor together." ”
The convoy of the northbound detachment has now been placed in the backyard of the General's Mansion, and the personnel in charge of driving the car and most of the escort soldiers have already arranged a place to stay, and Liu Yeqiang and they also brought three special detective team members as escorts, and drove two Rolls-Royce reconnaissance models to follow Liu Chuanzhi out of the door.
To say that Liu Chuanzhi is a general after all, he also brought more than 30 personal guards when he went out, and there were people in front of him to guide the way. As a military general, Liu Chuanzhi did not wear armor, but was wearing an official uniform, riding a white horse in front and two reconnaissance vehicles following behind.
"I said, are we like a circus?" Lu Qi looked depressed, and said to Yang Muqin, who was sitting on a high place behind him, "Look at the people on the side of the road, all of them are looking at us." As he spoke, he pointed to the side of the road, which was now full of curious passers-by, standing on both sides of the road and looking at the strange cars moving on the road. Most of the people were staring at the cars with stars in their eyes, pointing and whispering to each other. Children were running back and forth on the side of the road, some bouncing around with the car, tentatively leaning their heads into the window to look inside.
"Nonsense, of course it's up to us! Not many people in the world have ever seen such a car, not even many veterans, so of course the local natives want to see the Western scenery. Yang Muqin said with a smile, "This reminds me of the previous legends." ”
"What legend?" Lu Qi asked with some curiosity, Yang Muqin smiled and sniffled, "At the time of reform and opening up, there was only one Beijing jeep in our small city, and every time it drove out, it was crowded with people to come and see, blocking the road that was not spacious in the first place." Back then, it was an honor to be able to take a picture next to a car. ”
"I do remember that," laughed Rudge, "I was older than you, I was seven or eight years old then, and as far as I can remember, we had a few cars in that city. When I was a child, I was in a state-owned enterprise, and the welfare of state-owned enterprises was very good, but there were two or three kilometers between the living area and the production area, so there was a ferry vehicle or a bus. The happiest thing for us is that the school organizes spring and autumn outings to the provincial capital, and every time we go by the bus in the factory, we go back with a full load. ”
"Returned with a full load? At that time, you could still go to the big city to buy? Yang Muqin looked strange, "My dad was a 10,000-yuan household at that time, engaged in engineering, he said that there was nothing to buy at that time, there were many people in the department store, but there was nothing to buy." ”
"Hey......" Lu Qi laughed again, "Actually, it's not the same as what we have now?" What could our country produce at that time? There is nothing, there is probably a textile factory, a rice factory or something in a county, and the rest are basically concentrated in the big cities, where there are almost industrial zones in every city like later, and there are factories everywhere. In the past, there was no need to worry about the sales of manufacturing at all, because the whole country had nothing to buy, and what you did was what you earned, it was simply the emperor's daughter who didn't worry about getting married, but it was different later. ”
"Isn't it?" Yang Muqin laughed, "Later, everyone was engaged in factories, everyone was engaged in manufacturing, and the output increased by I don't know how many times, exceeding the country's ability to consume, and then things began to be unsellable." ”
"That's right," Lu Qi said with a slap in the face, "If you can't sell it, you won't find a way to open up new markets by adding quality and functionality, but will reduce the cost of raw materials first, and then open up the market through dumping at low prices." ”
"I really can't blame those black-hearted businessmen for this matter, if you want to blame it, you have to blame the people themselves, they only know how to buy the cheapest. As long as B is cheaper than A, people will rush to buy B, completely ignoring the fact that the quality of A is much better than B. Yang Muqin said with a wry smile, "At the beginning, the difference in quality was not so big, but this method of reducing quality increased the income to a certain extent, stimulated the profit-seeking of businessmen, and let the people behind learn to start making money with such methods. ”
"That's right," Luge sighed, "that's how Clenbuterol, gutter oil, and melamine milk powder are made." ”
"That's why I said that we'd rather keep our production low than compromise quality. Merchants are originally able to spill their blood for 300% profits, and if they are allowed to eat the marrow, our descendants will be unlucky. As soon as Yang Muqin's words were finished, Lu Qi interrupted, "You guy doesn't even have a child, why are you thinking about the long term?" ”
"Hey, I'm married!" Yang Muqin said with some indignation, "It won't take long for the child to come out, if you think about it at that time, it's too late, we have suffered a loss, we must take precautions, when the time comes, I am going to put forward this proposal at the next plenary meeting, you have to help me vote in favor!" ”
Lu Qi didn't think about it at all, Yang Muqin's sentence "I'm married" just now hurt him. You must know that when he first crossed, he fell in love with the two female elders of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, since he became the chief instructor of the new army in Champa Port, the two girls secretly sent him Qiubo, and even often sent ambiguous text messages to him, so that he has always wanted to get into trouble. This has traveled to a new time and space, and without the marriage law, he has been thinking about taking the two female elders into his harem and enjoying the blessings of all people.
But since he was stripped of his command at the plenary meeting because of his mishandling of the fire brigade, the two girls have been much colder to him. Not to mention that because of the previous "fire review" in the fire brigade to collect money, they had to refund the money, and the attitude of the two women began to be cold in the Senate. After being beaten in the cafeteria at the end, his reputation in the Senate became more and more stinky, and the two wives and concubines who had been booked by himself now did not say that they were playing ambiguously with him, and they didn't even reply to text messages, and they called and pressed them directly, making him embarrassed now.
The reason why he decided to go to Beijing with the northbound detachment this time was to re-establish his image in the Senate, and Jingshi has a good place known as Fireworks Hutong, so why don't you take the opportunity to go back there? If you can't keep it, you can get a famous prostitute back.
Yang Mu Qin saw that Lu Qi didn't reply, so he acquiesced, and continued, "Speaking of which, I'm really hungry, it's five o'clock, and I haven't eaten yet, I'm really a little hungry, are you hungry?" ”
Lu Qi was still rehearsing the conjecture of being in the limelight in the Jingshi in his mind, completely ignoring Yang Muqin's words, Huang An, who was in charge of driving, tilted his head and said, "Chief, if you are hungry, there is canned ham in the side box of the car seat, you can eat it." ”
"No," Yang Muqin shook his head, "It's not that I don't have anything to eat now, I should be able to eat when I come back from the Governor's Mansion, don't worry." Anyway, I'm not very hungry now, by the way, Huang An, how do you feel about coming out this time? ”
"That's good!" Huang An hurriedly said, "Our special investigation team is the sword of the Senate, and we have been trained so much to protect the interests of the Senate and protect the safety of the senators, this is what we are doing - duty!" ”
Yang Muqin smiled and nodded, "That's right, that's a good point!" This time we left Dongfang Port for thousands of miles to go to Jingshi, but it was not a joke, we may encounter all kinds of things on the way, and maybe we have to fight a bloody way to survive, are you afraid? ”
"Report Chief! Unafraid! Huang An hurriedly said, "Huang An's name was given by the Senate, and this life was also given by the Senate, if you can die to protect the Senate in the future, then it should be!" Isn't it death? There's nothing to be afraid of! ”
Yang Muqin said with a smile, "Let me tell you, don't die at every turn, the senate cultivates a special investigator like you for more than 100 yuan just for equipment, not to mention training and food, and the cost of training a special investigator is almost more than 1,000 yuan." The Senate spent so much money training you not to send you to death everywhere, but to help the Senate complete all kinds of tasks and defend the Senate. ”
Huang An's heart was about to boil, as the saying goes, when a soldier eats food, he eats food, and when he eats this salary, he has to work hard for the Senate. But at present, this deputy captain does not have the frame of a senior officer at all, although he is very strict in training, but in life he looks kind and pleasant, and he regards himself as a brother. He was also criticized by him for dying for the Senate just now, and he actually wanted to let himself live well. That's right, only by living can we better serve the Senate and the people.
Immediately, his heart surged, and he turned his head to Yang Muqin in the back seat and said, "Yes, chief!" For the Senate and the people! ”
At this moment, Yang Muqin suddenly shouted, "Stop!" Huang An felt a shock to the body, as if he had hit something.
