Chapter Eighty-Six: Jeju Night Banquet
Originally, the state capital in this Shandong region was almost all bullied by bandits and robbers on this Liangshan water. Don't look at Song Jiang exalting the way of the sky, but the way of doing things is exquisite, and he picks the stubble of the rich businessmen of the government. The caravans along the road were miserable, and even the officers and soldiers escorting the tax silver did not dare to move around at will. Several conquests by the imperial court were in vain, and now they can only garrison their troops at the foot of the mountain to confront them. Where have I seen a team that defeated the thieves and protected the territory and the people.
Gao Shide, who just came, even beheaded two generals of Liangshan, is really happy.
Jeju Governor Wu Wencan learned of Gao Shide's arrival and hurriedly set up a banquet to entertain him, compared to the intrigue and monopoly of the family in Pingjiang Mansion, Jeju Mansion is vast and sparsely populated, relatively poor. But the good thing is that the official of the Wu Governor's Mansion in front of him has a good reputation, and he usually doesn't do anything bad to bully men and women and hurt the heavens and reason. And this prefect is relatively a clean official who maintains the golden mean, of course, Gao Shide doesn't know, in fact, he is also forced to be helpless.
Shandong has been revered since ancient times, and the Confucian Mansion in Shandong has been immortal for thousands of years. Running a family with Confucian scholars, all over the government and the opposition. No matter what era they are in, they are the speakers of the whole Shandong. And although the Kong family of Jeju is one of them, they are still rich and powerful. If you have to deal with these people all day long, you can imagine the situation of the Wu Governor's Mansion. But even if you know it, in one acre and three points of land here, Gao Shide is in charge of defense, and politics and the like don't care. This is also a rule since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, but Liangshan is so noisy, and it really affects the interests of these people. And Gao Shide has shown such hostility to Liangshan since then, and he can also make meritorious contributions. So in their eyes, it has become an existence that can be pushed out to confront Liangshan.
wants to use Gao Shide, not to mention Gao Shide doesn't want to use them. That's why there is the next scene of the younger brother.
"I have heard the name of General Gao for a long time, and I am here to extend a warm welcome to the arrival of the general on behalf of the fathers and villagers of Jeju City." Governor Wu said a few words to Gao Shide in public with an official tone, holding the wine glass in his hand.
"Gao has just arrived, and he is not familiar with life. It is a blessing for me to be able to thank you for your hospitality. In the future, we would like to ask for your continued attention to build the peace and prosperity of Jeju. Speaking of playing official, born in the palace of the Taiwei Mansion in the capital, Gao Shide can also say a few words. However, at this time, Gao Shide was not Gao Yanei, so he could only rely on his own cognition to say a word.
"Since we have General Gao's words, then we will all have to rely on General Gao more in the future." Unexpectedly, Gao Shide thought that the scene was inconsequential, but he dug a big pit for himself, and was dismounted from the donkey down the slope by this group of old foxes who ate people and did not spit out bones.
"That's right, General Mangao, now our Jeju Mansion is not very peaceful, and we often encounter roadblocks and robberies. It makes those of us who do small business frightened, and I ask General Gao to take care of it on weekdays. Immediately, someone took the lead and someone followed, and one by one it became a grievance meeting in an instant.
The scene was very embarrassing, Gao Shide glanced at the Wu Governor next to him, but saw that he was silent, and Bacheng snickered in his heart.
Looking at it like this, if Gao Shide doesn't express his position, it is estimated that it will be a question of whether he can get out of this door later. After all, this is also a group of people with heads and faces in Jeju City, and they can't be beaten or killed.
"Ahem. Rest assured, everyone is loyal to the king. It's just that now Gao has brought this big wave of brothers all the way from Jiangnan to Maradon. When I am well, I will definitely return Jeju to peace. "The meaning of Gao Shide's words is obvious, he wants me to work, okay, take the money.
With the general's words, the old children were relieved. Let's give General Gao a drink, and we will first thank General Gao for his benevolence for the people of Jeju. The oldest and highest-ranking old man stood up and said in front of Gao Shide.
"This is Kong Weidong, the former secretary of the ministry, who returned to his hometown five years ago. He is now the Grand Elder of the Kong clan in Jeju Province. In front of Gao Shide, Wu Zhifu opened his mouth and introduced.
"It turned out to be Master Kong, no wonder there are some familiar faces, and when I was in Tokyo in the past, I had several faces." When Gao Shide heard this, he also remembered that he had seen each other before.
"Haha, I didn't expect General Gao to remember me, the main marriage." Seeing that Gao Shide recognized him, that Kong Lao Shangshu did not put on a show, but said in an approachable manner.
"I don't dare to forget, Lao Shangshu is old and strong, and his demeanor has not diminished back then." Although the other party has retired, as a former first-class member, Gao Shide still behaves respectfully and respectfully as his father.
After all, he is not only a retired Shangshu, but also the head of the Great Elder of the Jeju Kong family. After Ko Se-deok, Jeju is now developing, but he has to deal with it often. The name of Shandong Kong's family is huge, and Gao Shide does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
"Young people are neither humble nor arrogant, not bad. It seems that after some tempering, there has been a lot of growth. "One old and one young, each with a ghost, but at this time, it is like a year-old friend who has not seen each other for many years, and the cliché directly hangs the other people present aside.
But even so, others didn't dare to disturb, including Wu Zhifu, they all became companions.
Gao Shide and this old Shangshu touted each other, and drank three rounds. The banquet also came to an end, and Gao Shide looked drunk and returned to the general's mansion under the escort of the iron sword.
And the people who stayed behind, Lao Shangshu and Wu Zhifu and others are still continuing.
"Boss, what do you think of today's events?" Governor Wu couldn't help but ask first.
"Can't see through? I didn't expect that I hadn't seen it for a few years, and the gangsters in the past have what they have today, which is really touching. Lao Shangshu shook his head, looked at the moon hanging in the air outside the window, and said.
"What then? Do we live here like this, knowing that we have lost thousands of taels of silver in a month? As the largest wealthy businessman here, Kong Fucai exclaimed impatiently.
"What is a few thousand taels of silver? The family loses tens of thousands of dollars every month, and you must know that now the rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River has caused the grain in the south to be unable to be transported. Now the price of food is rising every day, and we are indeed sitting here to eat nothing. Kong Seokbu, the largest grain merchant in Jeju City, also wailed with a bitter expression.
Looking at the appearance of his clansmen one by one, Lao Shangshu shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's a shame that you are a on weekdays, but now you haven't reached a desperate situation, and you are flustered one by one." Didn't you hear that kid? Give him something good and he will act. ”
At this time, everyone realized that this was the case. In an instant, one by one, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, they regained their vitality and turned around to say goodbye. Go back and prepare a gift.
"I'm sorry, it's a good thing to eat the king, and to be loyal to the king. So you can still play like this? How did I not think of that? When Governor Wu saw everyone leaving, he also thought of Gao Shide's words, and couldn't help but regret how he didn't know how to plunder money before.
