Chapter 159: Gathering
Half an hour later, the door of the private room was opened, and Wang An, Sima Zhao, and Yang Yong came together. After a few people sat down, Jia Fu complained with a mouthful of complaints: "Why did you come so late, I and Brother Sheng waited here for more than an hour."
"There are a lot of things in the DPRK this morning, so that this matter is delayed, and the three of us are willing to admit punishment." Wang An heard Jia Fu complaining, and quickly admitted his mistake with a smile.
After Sima Zhao heard this, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "I am willing to punish myself with a glass of wine, and please let the two of you calm your anger."
"Sima Zhao punished himself with one cup, and I, Yang Yong, am willing to punish myself with three cups. The first is to atone for today's sins, the second is to thank for saving lives, and the third is to thank Lingzhou for relieving the siege". Yang Yong stood up and picked up his wine glass. Drink three cups in a row in front of Liu Sheng and Jia Fu.
When Wang An heard Yang Yong's words, he thought of the impact of that battle, stood up and raised his wine glass: "In the battle two months ago, I want to thank the two of them, and you Yang Yong is not alone." Sima Zhao and I should do the same, thank you very much."
"If it weren't for the two of you going to the northwest, the situation would be unimaginable. Without a good external environment, how can we talk about changing the law, and how can it be possible at this time, there will be a scene of singing and dancing. If you want to say that the first skill of changing the law, it should be for you Liu Sheng". Sima Zhao also sighed with emotion, stood up and picked up the wine glass, and drank it all. Seeing this, Wang An also hurriedly drank the wine in the cup.
Seeing that all three of them had already stood up straight, Liu Sheng also picked up his wine glass and stood up with a wry smile: "Are you praising me, or are you forcing me to stand up and eat with you." Yang Yong was in an emergency situation, so he took the sword from your hand and asked for forgiveness."
"If you hadn't grabbed the sword, I'm afraid I'd have returned to the underworld by this time. I should thank you for this, but I can only drink a full cup. can be expressed. The gratitude in my heart". After Yang Yong finished speaking, he picked up a pot of wine, poured a full glass of wine, and drank it all. When the three of them saw that he had finished drinking, they sat down together.
Jia Fu looked at the few people in front of him and shook his head: "The matter has long passed, you will look for these as soon as you come, and the past is an excuse to drink these fine wines, it is really a deep scheming."
"Jia Fu, I think I hide it tightly enough, how did you send it." With Jia Fu's words, he joked. The atmosphere just now was indeed a bit dreary, and this topic could just dilute those breaths.
After Jia Fu heard this, he was very cooperative, showing a serious expression: "That's a must, miss me Jia Fu." Now he is the president of the Sparrow Chamber of Commerce, and he knows countless people. You careful thoughts, how is it possible. I can hide it, my eyes."
"I don't think so, ah, you have to be so smart. At this time, you shouldn't speak, but drink desperately, such as Yang Yong." After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he motioned to a few people to look at Yang Yong, who had been drinking with his head stuffy.
Sima Zhao picked up the wine glass and signaled to Yang Yong: "Yang Yong, you are too unkind, now that this wine has entered your stomach, is it too unfair to us, if you want to drink it, let's all drink it together."
"Yang Yong, Yang Yong, I took every precaution, but I didn't expect you to be a step ahead. You see, he's too powerful. After a short while, they all drank a pot of wine." Jia Fu exaggeratedly pointed to an empty wine jug in front of Yang Yong, and deliberately complained.
Liu Sheng took Jia Fu's words, and also sighed deliberately: "Yang Yong, what's wrong with you." It feels like you don't want us to drink. Explain up front, that's not going to work."
"As you say, if the past becomes the past, then nothing cannot be seen. I'm toasting everyone, and don't keep complaining that I'm not kind." Listening to the persuasion of these four people in different ways, Yang Yong raised his wine glass and motioned for everyone to drink together. In fact, after the defeat and extrication from the predicament, he really wanted to seek death, and he was gone. However, the elder of the family is right, as the head of the family, if he really does such a thing, it will be a little too selfish. As a man, you should have the courage to take your mistakes and do your best to make amends and forgive your sins. is worthy of Yang Yong's brave word.
Seeing that Yang Yong's expression was gradually normal, several people hurriedly raised their wine glasses and drank them all. Liu Sheng put down his wine glass and asked Yang Yong: "Yang Yong, why did you stay for more than a month when you went back to Xiazhou, but there are still any variables in the northwest."
"If there is a variable, it is that in this month and a half, the Uighurs were defeated. Li Hao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but retreated, as if he was recuperating and recovering from the wounds after the war." When Yang Yong heard Liu Sheng ask about variables, he told him what had happened in the northwest for more than a month. Before the situation was unknown, he could only station troops in Xiazhou and do a good job of defense. Now that Li Hao has withdrawn and the situation has completely stabilized, he dares to return to Luoyang.
After listening to this, Jia Fu felt very incomprehensible: "When Li Hao and the Uighurs are at war, you can't return to Beijing."
"It's not that I can't, but I don't dare. If he suddenly returns to the east, we are caught off guard, what will happen if you say that he will be surprised." Yang Yong heard Jia Fu's doubts and explained. Surprise and attack it unprepared, this move is indeed very powerful.
Jia Fu heard Yang Yong's inquiry, as if he had figured out the relationship. No wonder at the beginning, Brother Sheng would propose that we go back to Luoyang first: "What's so good about this fight, killing and killing, or I am more happy to do business."
"If you don't have a better environment, how can you do business?". When Wang An heard Jia Fu's answer, he couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Sima Zhao also continued, Wang An's words, and continued to ask: "Merchants and the like are not engaged in production. If our DPRK is at war with the Quartet, the internal livelihood of the people will be unstable. Where do you get the source of goods, where do you get the market?"
"You're right, you can't do it. What a meal, is it necessary for you to hit me like this? “。 Jia Fu heard a series of rhetorical questions from the two and shook his head helplessly. He sparrow chamber of commerce, unconsciously stirred up the earth-shattering storm in the Liao country, how did he feel that in their eyes, the merchant was still so lowly.
Liu Sheng looked at the arguments of several people and thought of a question: "I'm curious, how did you implement the change." How did it work so quickly and so well. The disaster in Hebei is as if it has never happened."
"It is nothing more than officials and officials who carry out the reform of the law, and as long as we grasp them well, this reform will be difficult and difficult." Wang An heard Liu Sheng ask about this matter, and his expression was slightly proud.
Sima Zhao also nodded, and then said: "As long as the officials are dedicated, the law is a good way to govern the country. You say that we have a big week, how can it be bad."
"I want all the officials to do their best, but I'm afraid it's not that simple. When I heard the news of the drought in Hebei, my heart was like a knife, and I was worried. Unexpectedly, after returning to Xiazhou, there was a decree from the imperial court to change the law. All of a sudden, the money and food of the household increased sharply, and the disaster became invisible. Every time I think about it, I sigh." Yang Yong thought of this matter, and he was also impressed. Wang An and Sima Zhao are indeed good hands, and they can fill the treasury in a blink of an eye.
When Wang An heard Yang Yong's words, his smile became even stronger: "There is a saying in the Buddhist scriptures, there is no fear if there is no obstacle." You say that the world wants to be officials, but for what?"
"Needless to say, it's naturally money and power. Those who have money have billions of dollars and a crowd of slaves. Those who have the power, in a word, all promises. People in the world naturally yearn for it." Jafu said these words almost without thinking.
When Wang An heard Jia Fu say these words, he kept nodding his head: "What if I include the change in the promotion assessment of officials."
"Promotion assessment?". After hearing this, Liu Sheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, and the change of law was linked to the performance evaluation, would this be a little inappropriate. Could it be...... After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't get the point, so I had to give up. (To be continued.) )
