Chapter 216: Persuasion
"How's it going over there?" Half an hour later, on the way back to the inn set by Wang Hai, Zhengliang asked Liu Le beside him in a low voice.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty has already consulted with Sister Qian," Liu Le replied, "Sister Qian promised to send those orphans to her courtyard first. ”
"Well, that's not a proper way to deal with it," Masarashi nodded.
"As for moving out of here, Sister Qian still needs to think about it before she can make a decision," Liu Le continued to report.
"What do you mean?" Masara asked. Originally, Liu Le was determined to follow Zhengliang to do a career, but when he met his fiancée at this moment, it was a different matter.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty's heart has never changed," Liu Le hurriedly saluted and said, "As for Sister Qian...... Hey, it's all up to God's will. "It's clear that Liu Le's indecisive personality is playing tricks again.
"Ha Lu, haha, okay, don't worry, your sister Qian will follow you" Zhengliang was afraid of Liu Le's shoulder, and Da Lu said with a smile. Zhengliang has already thought about it, once Zhang Qian is unwilling to follow Liu Le, Zhengliang will also tie her to Japan. As for the relationship, it is completely possible to let Liu Le slowly cultivate with her in Japan.
"This..."Hearing Zhengliang's 'Your Sister Qian', Liu Le immediately blushed, for a literati who is full of words, Zhengliang's words are too explicit. Liu Le's cowardice once again made Zhengliang laugh. Ming Fengxiuzheng, who was a few steps away, touched his head unwillingly when he saw this, and secretly muttered to himself if the head of the family had encountered a happy event today, and he was so happy to laugh. Speaking of Ming Feng Xiuzhenglai, he is really depressed, because he can't understand Chinese at all, and he can't speak casually, so as not to expose his identity, so basically every time he stands behind Zhengliang like a puppet and dutifully guards it.
"By the way, you'll go back to your sister Qian later," Zhengliang said to Liu Le with a smile.
"No, Your Highness..."Liu Lezheng wanted to object. In his opinion, there is something serious to do when he comes with Zhengliang this time, how can he abandon the head of the family for the sake of his children's personal feelings? But he wasn't done yet. Masashi interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Xiuzheng, take fifteen taels of silver and give it to Liu Le," Zhengliang turned his head and said to Mingfeng Xiuzheng, who was in charge of keeping the baggage. Ming Fengxiu was immediately bowing down to receive the order, and then took out an ingot of ten taels of silver and five taels of broken silver from the package and gave it to Liu Le.
"Your Highness. Why is that? Seeing that Zhengliang asked him to go back to his fiancée and send money, Liu Le was puzzled. He even suspected that Masato was going to give up on him as a retainer.
"Hehe, don't be suspicious. That's all this silver. Go back and handle your father-in-law's funeral" Seeing that it is about to be the first seven, this matter really cannot be delayed any longer, at this moment Liu Le's father-in-law's body is still hanging in the righteous village outside the city, as a son-in-law, this matter is unacceptable," after the funeral is over. You'd better stay there for now. ”
"Huh? Your Highness? "If it is said that handling the funeral of my father-in-law in person is something that has to be done, then it is a bit too much to say that I have to stay with Zhang Qian after the funeral.
Zhengliang waved his hand and motioned for Liu Le to listen carefully, "After staying there, you have three things that you need to do immediately." ”
"Yes, Your Highness" As soon as he heard that Zhengliang had a purpose in keeping him there, Liu Le immediately bowed down and listened.
"The first thing to do is to take care of the orphans in stone. At the same time, let the stone recruit more orphans in Ningbo and even outside the city. If there are too many people, come and inform me immediately, and I will ask Wang Hai to send someone to send some orphans back to the cottage first", Masahiro's expression became serious, "The second thing is to find a way to persuade Zhang Qian to follow you back to Japan in the future." "After all, twisted melons are not sweet. Masahiro also didn't want to go to the step of forcibly kidnapping Zhang Qian to Japan. …,
Hearing Zhengliang talk about his marriage again, Liu Le's ears turned red again.
"The last thing. It's especially important," Masaya said in a raised voice.
As soon as I heard Masahiro emphasize the last thing that is very important. Liu Le's face immediately turned grim. Listen intently.
"Find a way to convince the craftsmen in that yard that they are willing to follow us back to Japan," says Masagi. When the middle-aged Uncle Zhang was suspicious of Zhengliang's identity just now, Zhengliang did not shy away from it, and frankly admitted that there was such a paradise overseas, and he was the landlord of this paradise. And solemnly promised everyone that what he said before was true. Later, he formally invited them to settle in the Luo family's territory. As long as their whole family went to settle there, Zhengliang was even willing to put up a written note to prove it.
Of course, Masato did not reveal his true identity. After all, the current widow is really a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, although he is not a widow, but as long as he is involved, he will be implicated, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhengliang did not say his true identity for the time being.
In response to Zhengliang's invitation, several people were obviously moved, but they did not reply immediately. After all, the relocation of the whole family is really a big deal, and for them, once they decide to follow Zhengliang, it is equivalent to running away, unless they hide in the mountains and settle down in the future, they will definitely not be able to escape the arrest of the officials. The Ming Dynasty had strict laws on the escape of craftsmen, and once they escaped, even those who did not report it would be punished.
In order to further win over these people, Zhengliang decided to send Liu Le into their interior to strengthen their confidence in following him. In addition, Masarashi now has an extremely advantageous advantage, seeing that the New Year is approaching, these craftsmen will be forced to serve in Kyoto, so they have to make a decision in a short time, and then start to move out secretly.
"If they follow me, then you need to secretly cooperate with them to go to the cottage first," Masahiro said in a low voice, "Okay, what you have to do is very important to the family, you can play Zhang Qian there now." ”
"Your Majesty understands, please rest assured Your Highness, Your Majesty will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations", feeling that his mission is important, Liu Le bowed solemnly to Zhengliang.
Masara waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite, and at the same time signaling that he could immediately go to carry out the task.
Liu Le saluted Zhengliang again, then resolutely turned around and hurried to Zhang Qian's residence with firm steps.
Looking at the back of Liu Le's departure, Zhengliang sighed slightly. In fact, there is another reason why Zhengliang did not say why Liu Le returned to Zhang Qian. That is, what Masayo does next may be dangerous, and it may well be a little insidious. Therefore, in order to avoid Liu Le, who had received Confucian education, from being difficult to do at that time, he had to be dispatched. (To be continued......) ……,
