Cui Jiuming sat under the mulberry tree in Su Mansion with a teacup and Su Ren, tasting the new tea that had just been sent from Laojunguan, which tasted mellow and refreshing after drinking. [Ran^Text^Library] [ ] Enjoy it for a long time with your eyes closed and a smile on your face.

"I heard that you are going to seek the captain of Chengdu? What's going on? Did Taishou promise or not? ”

Cui Jiuming's question was very simple, but it hit the nail on the head. The Taishou of a county is regarded as the emperor of the soil. Shu County is also a remote county far away from the Emperor of the Mountain, as long as the Wen Party says a word, let alone the captain, it is not a problem to replace Meng Ji as a long history. But the literati are a literati, and the literati have a problem, that is, they want to save face. Su Ren, as a student of the Wen Party, if there is any objection, with the character of the Wen Party literati, he really will not appoint Su Ren as a school captain.

Su Ren didn't speak, Cui Jiuming leaned his head over, and said mysteriously: "If you really have this idea, I can help you!" ”

"Oh?" Su Ren smiled: "Your family is still connected with the army?" ”

Cui Jiuming smiled: "As a businessman, there will be some relationship in all aspects, not to mention Shu County, even in the imperial court, as long as you are willing, it doesn't matter if you are an official, isn't it a matter of money, are you still short of money?" ”

Su Ren shook his head: "There is no shortage of money, I'm just curious, how much hidden strength does your Cui family have?" ”

"Hahaha......" Cui Jiuming was very proud, sat back in his seat, and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair: "Don't worry, now you and I are one, and I don't mean to harm you yet!" ”

"For now?" Su Ren was surprised: "So there is no guarantee in the future?" When I lose my usefulness, you'll kick me away? ”

Cui Jiu nodded triumphantly: "You and I are both businessmen, you should understand!" ”

"Get out, get out of here, don't come to my house in the future, and you black-hearted businessman can't make friends anymore!"

Cui Jiuming laughed louder, but his fat body didn't move: "No kidding, how much do you want to be this captain?" ”

Su Ren took a deep breath and spit out a long time: "Speaking of which, I really don't have much interest, I asked Taishou for this official, just to see how many people in Chengdu still have resistance to me to our Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce, since I have seen it clearly, it doesn't matter much whether I am a captain or not." ”

Cui Jiuming thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, a little captain, you won't take it in your eyes yet, besides, if you become this captain, even if you are Tang Meng's subordinate, you will not feel comfortable talking to Tang Meng again, it is better to be like this now!" By the way, you've resigned, don't you want Bing Cao anymore? ”

"Hehe, what do you say?"

"This is not good, the captain doesn't want it, the soldiers are different, the captain leads the soldiers, and the soldiers are in charge of supplying grain and grass, and the loss, if you continue to do this soldiers, the food, drink and Lazar of these county soldiers in Shu County are all good business for the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce!"

"Hey! You're a businessman, but you only see one thing but you don't see the other! Su Ren looked at Cui Jiuming: "Taishou asked me to be this soldier Cao is also here, but he is the opposite of what you think, in Taishou's eyes, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce can provide the cheapest and best things for the county soldiers, hear clearly, it is the cheapest!" ”

Cui Jiuming thought for a moment: "Oops, it almost broke a big deal!" After saying that, he turned around and ran out, and his fat body was so light.

Su Ren was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's fine!" Cui Jiuming waved his hand as he ran: "I'll explain it to you when I'm done!" ”

Cui Jiuming ran to the door and saw Sima Xiangru come in. After the two hurriedly saluted, Cui Jiuming did not stop for a moment, got into his carriage and hurried towards the east of the city.

After Sima Xiangru heard the news of the accident in Chengdu, he returned to Chengdu. But because the county soldiers besieged the city, they were not allowed to enter, so they and Ah Bang stayed outside the city and waited. waited until Tang Meng put down the rebellion, and then rushed back to Sufu.

Looking at Cui Jiuming's hurried back, Sima Xiangru smiled, entered the door and sat opposite Su Ren. Hawking changed the tea bowl again, added tea to Sima Xiangru, and went to the side to continue chatting with Huang Shisan. Today's Sima Xiangru is no longer the poor Confucian student he used to be, and in the hearts of everyone around Su Ren, he has long regarded Sima Xiangru as an indispensable person, even a little higher than Leng Jun's status.

Speaking of the events of the past few days, Sima Xiangru sighed a little: "Chengdu is not chaotic, it is still the work of Mr., but I don't approve of Mr. being a captain or becoming a soldier again." ”

"Oh? Tell us what you think! Su Ren was very happy to finally find a like-minded person. Since his resignation, the rumors and rumors in Chengdu have blown into the Su Mansion, and everyone thinks that Su Ren has played a little too big this time, not only can he not be the captain, but even Bing Cao or Shi Peng may not be able to play.

Sima Xiangru smiled: "Although the captain is good, he is controlled by others, and he can't leave the barracks at any time, which restricts Mr.'s activities, as for Bing Cao, it is even more unbearable, but not to mention that Taishou wants to rely on the power of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce to supply the soldiers of Shu County, if Mr. wants to continue to be a soldier, the businessmen of Shu County will be able to eat Mr." ”

"We Han people have a shortcoming, and it is a fatal shortcoming, that is, internal friction, those people have always been the supply merchants of the county soldiers, when the rebels besieged the city, the situation was urgent, they had nothing to say, now that the crisis is over, it is inevitable to fight each other, and they will definitely be more unscrupulous than the Meng family!"

Su Ren nodded, turned his head and yelled at Hawking and Huang Shisan: "Did you hear that, you guys with little eyes!" Go tell the second child and the guys who chattered in my room last night and didn't let me sleep, and let them all listen to Mr. Sima! ”

Hawking was stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Shisan: "Who didn't let the eldest brother sleep in the eldest brother's room last night?" ”

Huang Shisan shook his head again and again: "You were on duty last night, how do I know!" ”

Hawking smiled, didn't move, and continued to chat with Huang Shisan.

Sima Xiangru smiled: "This can't be blamed on them, there is no one in this world who doesn't like to be an official, Mr. saved Chengdu in danger, and made such a contribution, if he is not an official, the court will not be able to explain to the people of Chengdu, although this soldier Cao has only been a dozen days, but no one can erase the credit of Mr., a few days ago I also felt that as long as Mr. has an official position, no matter what the official, it is of great benefit to the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce." ”

"And how did you get there?"

"I'm ashamed to say it, since Mr. resigned and recommended himself to Taishou to be a lieutenant, and was immediately attacked by other businessmen, I began to meditate, and after thinking about it for two days, I finally figured out the whole thing!" Sima Xiangru looked at Su Ren's smiling face: "Mr. didn't plan to continue to be an official from the beginning, right?" ”

"Haha! You are not the same, you don't do it, you have to stay in this Su Mansion with me, in the eyes of others, both of us have problems! ”

"Hahaha......" Sima Xiangru also laughed, picked up the teacup and touched Su Ren lightly: "Indeed, in the eyes of others, both of us are fools!" It's because they're all fools that they can drink tea and chat here! ”

After taking a sip of tea, Sima Xiangru was relaxed. Stand up and look up at the mulberry tree, which grows lush and green. The little silkworm that Leng Yue and Huo Zhilan raised didn't even eat half of the leaves of the big mulberry tree. At the beginning of autumn, the big mulberry trees are getting greener and greener. Take a look around, in the small courtyard of Sufu, except for this mulberry tree, there is not even a bamboo or orchid, which is unique to Shu. The yard is very clean, and there is no weeds on the ground, which makes people feel a little barren.

Both of them are smart people, and it is good to have a lot of words to say, and there is no need to go deeper. chatting about indifferent things while drinking tea, sometimes joking with Hawking and Huang Shisan, the four of them are also happy.

Leng Jun frowned, walked in and rolled his eyes at Su Ren: "Someone told me just now, saying that you were looking for someone who didn't let you sleep well last night?" I'm here now, what do you want to do? ”

Su Ren was stunned, and Sima Xiangru glanced at each other, and the two laughed at the same time. Hawking hurriedly pulled Leng Jun aside and told Leng Jun what Sima Xiangru had said. The cold face softened a little, and he looked at Su Ren solemnly: "Really? Is that really the case? ”

"What do you think? If I want to be an official, this Chengdu lieutenant won't even look at it, and now I'll go to Chang'an, and at the end of the year, not to mention the three princes and nine kings, any official who is more than two thousand stones will definitely not be able to run. ”

"Humph! Don't blow too high, it's only 2,000 stones! It's more than 2,000 stones, and it's about the same as a long history! Do you have what it takes? ”

"Do you want to bet?"

"Bet on what? If so......"

"Slowly, slowly!" Before the cold words were finished, Sima Xiangru hurriedly interrupted: "Two, how can there be a bet on such a thing, not to mention winning or losing, we can't go to Chang'an at present, the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce has just been established, defeating Meng Ji is a small victory, don't forget, there are thousands of businessmen in this Shu, don't let these people be convinced, I'm afraid that we haven't gone to Chang'an, and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce that has been set up with so much effort will be dispersed!" It's better to think about the present! ”

Leng Jun looked at Su Ren's evil smile on his face, and he was angry in his heart. I don't know why, the more he looks at Su Ren now, the more unpleasant he becomes, since he feels that he can't see Su Ren clearly, his cold mood has become very bad, is the guy who made trouble with him in Wenshui County still the person in front of him? Leng Jun was a little skeptical.

Rolled his eyes and walked away coldly. Su Ren sighed: "I have to find someone to talk to this guy!" ”

Cui Jiuming's return made Su Ren a little surprised. When I entered the door, my face was covered with sweat, and my outer robe was taken off, and I was wearing only a silk middle coat. Fortunately, Su Ren has no female dependents in his family, and Leng Yue and Huo Zhilan are also children, if Cui Jiuming goes to someone else's house like this, he must be beaten out.

Holding the teapot for a while, I didn't taste the taste of new tea at all. After drinking his fill, he sat down in a chair: "Oops! I'm exhausted! ”

Su Ren was puzzled: "I hurriedly went out just now, why did I come back in a blink of an eye?" What the hell is going on? ”

Cui Jiuming laughed helplessly: "Don't mention it, I almost wasted 50,000 yuan in vain!" ”

"Ahh Hawking was surprised: "I said Shopkeeper Cui, you are so good at slamming the door, how can you waste 50,000 yuan?" ”
