Chapter 9 Prime Minister Bai knows how to press the sword

"King Jin, if it is indeed a way to sell land, but where to sell it and how to sell it, there needs to be a charter." Fang Xuanling heard that Li Chengzong said that he would sell the land, and he also felt that it was feasible. Anyway, the four counties are under the rule of Li Chengzong, and no one can control who he wants to sell to.

"Eight immortals cross the sea, this idea is all in exchange for this king begging grandpa to tell grandma, as for the specific implementation method, your four counties are responsible for it, and each is in charge of his own. But it must be remembered that the land can only be sold for five years, and the king will take it back after five years. And you can't sell the land to this king cheaply, if you sell it for a long time, you still can't make money, and you can't solve the material problem, you yourself hold the stone for me to sink to the bottom!" Li Chengzong commanded so directly.

The moving mouth above is the person of Li Chengzong, the king of Jin. The people below didn't close their eyes for a few nights because of these few words, and selling land is not as easy as it seems. Especially if there is no charter on it, everything is decided by yourself, and that is the most important thing.

It's right to sell it, and it's supposed to be sold well. If you don't sell it well, then you can only carry the black pot yourself. Surely you can't sell the land you grow food, right? You can't sell it in important transportation areas, right? You can't sell the water source, but in fact, there are only a lot of people who are willing to buy it. If the work is not carried out well, everyone can only be cautious.

Ma Zhou is the most cautious, he has always claimed to be Li Chengzong's number one minister, so he is reluctant to mess up this matter himself. He personally measured the land, and he never pretended to be in the hands of others. If Ma Zhou dies one day, it must be glorious and exhausted.

Wei Zheng and Pei Jufang Xuanling may not be as careful as Ma Zhou, but they are also attentive.

On this day, in Wang Kui's mansion, several Hu merchants from the Western Regions were here.

Wang Kui only knew two or three of them, and he had some business dealings.

"Boss Wang, as the saying goes, I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and I hope I can ask you for help today." A middle-aged Hu Shangdao.

Wang Kui Duojing, said carefully: "You and I have also been friends for many years, if you borrow money, just ask."

A few Hu merchants looked at each other, and the middle-aged Hu Shang who had spoken originally said: "No, no, it's not to borrow money from you, but I hope you can introduce the King of the Tang Dynasty and Jin to us."

Wang Kui's face changed as soon as he saw it, and said in a deep voice: "The King of the Tang Dynasty and Jin is not something that can be seen when you say it."

With a wave of his hand, the man behind him lifted up a large box full of jewels.

"I don't know if these are enough to meet King Jin." The Hu Shang asked.

It's really for the sake of many years of friendship, if it weren't for the fact that he had been doing business with the Hu people in front of him since he was young, Wang Kui would have been able to slap him to death. Do you think Lao Tzu is short of money? It's really a dog's eye looking down on people.

"You think money works? Take it back. Wang Kui said.

"Why? Not enough is negotiable. "That Hu Shang thought it was not enough gift money.

Wang Kui said solemnly: "No matter how much money you give me, I won't help you see King Jin." Of course, if you encounter any trouble, only King Jin can help you, I can tell you in front of King Jin, success or failure cannot be guaranteed. ”

"Thank you, friend." The Hu Shang hurriedly thanked Wang Kui.

"What did you say first, you have to find King Jin to solve it?"

The Hu merchant said: "We have taken a fancy to a piece of land in Zhangye County and want to buy it. But Zhangye County refused to sell it to us, saying that we were foreigners. ”

Hearing this, Wang Kui felt that it was not a big deal, so he should give it up, isn't it profitable for him to sell it to anyone!

Sending Hu Shang away, Wang Kuifa and Xiao Du Bao happened to see it.

Du Bao asked those Hu merchants what they were doing, and Wang Kui explained.

"Then aren't you going to see King Jin tomorrow?" Du Bao said busily.

"What do you think is a good thing to see King Jin? It's okay to see King Jin, the housekeeper of the Jin King's Mansion who didn't look at the door, stared at you with small eyes. "Wang Kui is talking about Zhu Bajie, I don't know when to add the problem, no matter who comes to see Zhu Bajie, the king of Jin, he has to stare at it for a while to see if it is a good bird.

Du Bao said: "That's also a face-to-face thing, since I've seen it once in Chang'an, I haven't seen it once!" You'll have to take me with you this time, and I'll thank you when I get back. ”

"No, no." Wang Kui pretended to be very embarrassed.

"Say what you want." Du Bao is direct and a cheerful person.

Wang Kui said: "I heard that you brought your family a few days ago?"

"Stop, if you want to beat my sister, don't say it as soon as possible, I can't be the master." Du Bao said busily.

"I'm not kidding you, I'm not blessed. I mean, you can discuss with your father and sacrifice her to King Jin! Think about it, if you get this done, who won't ask you in the future? Of course, I'm also honored. "Wang Kui hasn't been thinking about it for a day or two.

Du Bao is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he did not refuse every sip, he said: "You take me to see King Jin first, and let me think about this matter again."

At the gate of the Jin Palace, Zhu Bajie was teaching people in the gatehouse at the gate of the mansion, and when he heard people outside say that Wang Kui asked to see him, he walked out in three or two steps.

"Who is he? Why haven't you seen it before?" Zhu Ba ringed Du Baodao.

"This is my best friend, and this time I specially prepared some light bows to meet King Jin."

Zhu Bajie pouted his ass and looked at it, turned it over and over again, and it was definitely no problem before letting the two of them in.

Du Bao said: "Isn't he just a eunuch!"

Wang Kui was so frightened that he was sweating, covered Du Bao's mouth and said, "You don't want to die?" That is not an ordinary eunuch, he has been on an errand beside King Jin since he was still the king of Taiyuan County. It is rumored that for this Zhu Bajie, the King of Jin once hit the mansion of Pei Lian, the prime minister of the dynasty. Look at which one of the people up and down the Jin Mansion is not afraid of him, don't say that you and I are the county guard Fang Xuanling, and you have to be polite to others. ”

Du Bao also knew that he had lost his words.

After the front yard, Li Chengzong was waiting for them in the study.

"Something to say? It's better not to be a trouble, and you know that this king has been upset a lot lately. Li Chengzong sketched on the paper and didn't know what he was doing, so he didn't even raise his head to look at the two of them.

"The villain has one thing, yesterday there were some Hu merchant friends, they said that Zhangye County Guard refused to sell the land to them because they were Hu people. That's why you want me to intercede with King Jin, so I came to disturb King Jin. ”

With a hula, Li Chengzong's head was raised suddenly.

"Who are you?" Li Chengzong only found out at this time that there was another person here.

"The villain Du Bao, who has admired King Jin for a long time, came to visit King Jin with his friends today." Du Bao knelt down and said.

Li Chengzong looked at the two of them and said to Du Bao: "Tell me, should you sell the land to the Hu people?"

"This..." I didn't expect that it would be such a problem, and Du Bao was embarrassed.

"Come on, this king doesn't like to procrastinate and have no opinions." Li Chengzong pretended to be angry.

Du Bao was ruthless and said, "It shouldn't be."

"Why?" Li Chengzong asked again.

"King Jin's strategy of selling land is just to solve the problem of high prices in the four counties. The sale of land must not have been intentionally done by King Jin, but had to be done. Moreover, selling land is a way to quench thirst by drinking water, and it will not last long if you want to come to King Jin. ”

Li Chengzong smiled: "You still have a lot of brains, what you said is good." After selling the land, it is not impossible for them to open the mine honestly, but people's hearts are always restless, who knows what they will do on that one-third of an acre of land? This king can't find someone to watch all the time, right?"

Wang Kui has the heart to kill Du Bao, did you know if you would tell me?

Du Bao is also sweaty, and he has been praised by the King of Jin, but how to explain it to Wang Kui in the future?

Li Chengzong said again: "Wang Kui, are you very aggrieved? I don't feel aggrieved. ”

Wang Kui didn't say anything, he didn't say yes or no.

"There's no need, it's all your own doing, just remember next time. This king remembers that there is a poem that is very well written, Prime Minister Bai knows how to press the sword, and Zhu Men Xianda laughs and plays the crown. You should remember these two sentences so that you don't make the same mistakes. ”

"Follow the teachings of King Jin, the villain still has something to tell King Jin." Wang Kuidao.

"Say it!" Li Chengzong continued to stare at the picture in front of him and said casually.

"Du Baolai said before that he wanted to dedicate his sister Du Qiuyu to King Jin."

"I didn't..." Du Bao hurriedly stopped what he was about to say, this is the King of Jin, and he can't be offended.

Li Chengzong just asked casually and said: "Tianzi and the country are still overwhelmed, and I won't wronged this king!"

Wang Kui said: "Peerless beauty, King Jin knew that what the villain said was true when he saw it."

"Really? Bring it to this king tomorrow, and you can go down first if it's okay!"

"Retirement", the two walked out of the Jin Palace, one after the other.

Du Bao really wanted to do it, but he was rude first, and he was a little ashamed.

"Tomorrow I will go to your house to pick up Du Qiuyu, in the future, you will also be a relative of the emperor, and don't forget me as a little person when you are developed in the future." Wang Kui scoffed.

"You know that I don't want to send Qiu Yu into the palace, what are your intentions?" Du Bao said.

"What am I trying to do? You know that the King of Jin will not grant what Hu Shang wants, and you didn't remind me earlier, causing me to be scolded in front of the King of Jin, what are your intentions? Or what King Jin said is right, Prime Minister Bai knows how to press the sword, it is really my Wang Kui who has no eyes. "Can Wang Kui not be angry!

Du Bao was not convinced, and said: "I have no intention of making you ugly, I just take this opportunity to get to know King Jin." If I had told you about it in advance, would you have come? I can't imagine that King Jin will ask me for my opinion. There's one more thing you don't know about. Today, you brought me to the palace of King Jin, and you thought about dedicating my sister to King Jin early in the morning, right? You're not a good thing either. ”

"Yes and what? What I do doesn't do you any harm, at least, you? It's really my best friend, I bah. ”

The two of them didn't fight, but let's go their separate ways in the future!

Not far from the two of them, a pair of eyes saw everything. Seeing the two of them walking away, he hurriedly ran back to the Jin Palace's mansion to report to Zhu Bajie.

Not daring to delay, Zhu Bajie ran into the study and told Li Chengzong about the matter.

"No treachery or business, these two people deserve to be best friends, they really smell like each other."

Zhu Bajie said: "It's not a good thing."

Li Chengzong said with a smile: "You can't say that, these two people are okay for this king." Wang Kui is at least loyal to this king, and Du Bao has some brains that are talented. ”

Zhu Bajie said: "The slave went to inquire about the origin of Du Bao to the prince?"

"Go ahead, find out that this king has a reward." Li Chengzong thought to himself, does this eunuch have the talent to engage in intelligence? It wasn't long after Zhu Bajie came, and he asked him about the things in Dunhuang City, and there was nothing he didn't know about the good guy, which made Li Chengzong secretly curious.

Du Bao returned to his house and preached the matter to his old father.

"No, you shouldn't offend Wang Kui with a moment of prestige."

Du Bao said: "If the child pretends to be ignorant, how can he be appreciated by the King of Jin?"

"With patience, opportunities can always wait. What you have done in a few days is too immoral. Forget it, there is no other way but to dedicate your sister to the King of Jin. ”

"But will my sister agree, her temper." Du Bao was a little embarrassed.

In the end, Du Bao still went to talk to Du Qiuyu about it.

Du Qiuyu was holding a scripture book, and the whole person looked clean, without a bit of red dust and worldly taste.

I was so sad that Du Bao didn't know how to say it.

"My brother has something to say." Du Qiuyu put down the scriptures, looked at Du Bao and said.

"Today, my brother went to meet King Jin, and then..."

Quiet, from beginning to end Du Qiuyu did not interrupt Du Bao, and listened carefully.

After listening to this, Du Qiuyu said slowly: "Tomorrow I will go to the Jin Palace, my brother should not worry."

Du Bao said: "If you go, my brother is afraid that it will be difficult for you to come back!"

"If that's the case, it's fate. There is no escape from the calamity that should be in life. Du Qiuyu picked up the Buddhist scripture again and read it in a low voice.
