Chapter 35: Yan Dan's Banquet (1)

In the evening, Youlan informed ordinary people that Zhao Si and others were back, and ordinary people immediately rushed to Zhao Si's room, closed the doors and windows, Zhao Ba guarded the door, and Zhao Si said: "Young master, I heard some news." ”

"Say ......"

"Two years ago, my General Zhao Guolianpo defeated the Yan army, and the king of Yan cut five cities to seek peace, so far the Yan country was divided into two factions from top to bottom."

"Oh? Left and right...... "Ordinary people wrenched their jaws.

……

……?

"There are those who want revenge, and there are those who are afraid of being beaten." Ordinary people explained helplessly.

"The young master is wise, which ...... That, the left wing, headed by Prince Dan, is supported by military attaches such as General Ju Xin, while the right wing is dominated by civilian officials represented by Prime Minister Jiangqu, and the people in the market also have their own support, and King Yan seems to be more inclined to the latter at present. ”

"Where's the news?"

"The subordinates are not talented, and a classmate happens to be a staff member here, so the subordinates invite him to get together, and this is ......"

"Whose staff?"

...... "Prince Yan Dan, it is said that after Prince Dan returned from Zhao State, he followed the example of Meng Weijun of Qi State, recruited wise men from all over the world, and vowed to strengthen the country and enrich the people. ”

"Recruit a wide range of talents, so what are his moves?"

"It seems that there is no initiative at the moment."

"That's an idealist," the ordinary person shook his head,... "You said that Prince Dan had ever come to Zhao Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Si was puzzled: "Prince Dan has been a hostage in my Zhao country since he was a child, and it is said that he had a close personal relationship with the current King Yingzheng of Qin back then, this is a well-known thing, doesn't the young master know?" ”

"Oh! At that time, I was just a mountain village man on the border of Yan Kingdom, lonely and unheard, and I smiled and smiled...... "Ordinary people have a drop of cold sweat, and I think I forgot to ask Zhen for the information about Prince Dan, and I almost showed my stuffing."

Zhao Si secretly wondered to himself, with ordinary people's speech and demeanor, he was not like a mountain village man, could it be the apprentice of a hermit master?

At this time, there was a boiling voice outside the door, and Zhao Ba knocked on the door and came in: "Young master." ”

"What's going on out there?"

"It seems that a son surnamed Ji invited Miss Yuxian to perform at the house, and Miss Yuxian asked you to go to the guard."

The ordinary person slapped the table: "Tell her that I am not available." ”

Yuxian's greasy voice came from outside the door: "You are my personal guard, if you don't go, in case I let the family arrest and torture to extract confessions, I can't keep any secrets with this mouth." ”

Ordinary people know that Yuxian is using Duanmu's matter to threaten him, but there is really nothing she can do about this matter, so she can't be wiped out with a knife, ordinary people looked at Yuxian's proud appearance, and said depressedly: "I'll go!" You're my mother, I'll protect you, okay. ”

"Giggles......" Yuxian smiled with satisfaction and got into the carriage at the door.

"Wait until I go back and get my sword!" Ordinary people walked back with their hands behind their backs, passing by the garden, and suddenly heard a "click" in the courtyard, like the sound of a tree branch breaking, ordinary people took a look, it was Youlan who was standing in the yard to enjoy the flowers, ordinary people were not in the mood to ridicule Youlan at this time, and walked straight to their room.

There's someone in the house! Ordinary people were shocked, pulled out Chang Dagger and kicked open the door, and a black shadow just came out of the window, "Zhao Si!" Block the back door, there are thieves. Ordinary people roared out with enough internal strength.

Hearing the voice, Zhao Si and Zhao Ba pulled out their swords, Zhao Ba blocked the front door, Zhao Si went straight to the back door, and ordinary people drilled out of the window, and the black shadow had disappeared at this time.

Ordinary people secretly said that the other party's light skills are good.

After a while, the three of them gathered in the ordinary room, and the ordinary people asked the two of them with their eyes, and both of them shook their heads and said that they had found nothing, and the ordinary people checked the room, and the package containing the letter was gone, except for the letter, there were only some broken silver taels in it.

"Young master, do you want to report to the official?"

Ordinary people don't tell anyone about the letter, and even the jade immortal doesn't know, is it a thief? The ghost believed, but it seemed that there was indeed a ghost, and ordinary people waved their hands, "Forget it, it's just throwing some broken silver, did no one really run out just now?" ”

"I asked, but neither the guy at the door nor the store saw anyone go out."

That's the inner ghost, ordinary people smiled, "Tell Xiao Jiu, I've been keeping an eye on those coachmen for the past few days, especially if I go out!" Let's go first, don't delay Miss Yuxian's business. ”

Ordinary people led Zhao Si and Zhao Ba to escort Yuxian to the prince's mansion, and Yuxian said impatiently: "Why is it so long?" ”

"Go to the toilet! After not seeing you for a while, I miss that rotten egg of yours? ”

? ……

"Giggle...... Jealous? Yuxian threw a wink, and ordinary people stiffened their faces and drank, "Let's go!" ”

……

……

In the Prince's Mansion, Prince Dan set up a banquet to entertain the Wei merchant Bai Gui, although the merchants of this period were not taken seriously, but Bai Gui served as the minister of Wei before he became a businessman, and he was quite influential in the Six Kingdoms.

Although ordinary people entered Yan as the son of an old minister of the Shang Dynasty, with their always low-key style, they still prefer to play the role of an entourage at this time.

The carriage stopped in front of the prince's mansion, ordinary people got off the horse and helped Yuxian get off, Prince Dan was already waiting in front of the door, seeing Yuxian get off, Prince Dan smiled and greeted, "Please forgive Miss Yuxian for your recklessness, because Ji Dan invited many talented people and wise men to the banquet today, thinking of having Miss Yuxian to help the fun, it will definitely make the banquet shine." ”

Yuxian smiled: "The little woman is an advocate girl, thanks to His Royal Highness the Prince, it is a great honor, how can she blame His Highness for being reckless?" Yuxian's voice at this time was tactful and delicate, not at all like the previous arrogance of the big horse golden knife, ordinary people stroked their chests and vomited on the side, Prince Dan was stunned, and Yuxian said in a sneering voice: "The next person is not sensible, and he has a bad stomach at night." As he spoke, he glared at ordinary people.

Prince Dan led Yuxian into the mansion, and the dancing girls were led by the servants to the side hall, and ordinary people also followed the dancers to the side, Yuxian turned his head, and just wanted to call "Ah Ji come with me", thinking that Prince Dan was also surnamed Ji, so he coughed, "Uh-huh, who is that, why are you on an errand?" ”

Prince Dan also glared at ordinary people, and said in his heart, how could this subordinate be so blind.

The ordinary person shrugged his shoulders, and said in his heart, Xiao Nizi, let you be proud first, so he lowered his head and followed Prince Dan, Yuxian and others into the hall.

Everyone sat down, singing and dancing rose, and ordinary people stood behind Yuxian, their eyes looked around, and their demeanor was like Zhongnanhai's bodyguards, which made ordinary people addicted to drama again.

After a dance, after the girls retreated into the screen, Prince Dan raised the bottle and said: "Today, I am fortunate to have Bai Xiang come to Yan, and Yan Dan specially prepared a wine banquet to wash the dust for the distinguished guests."

Bai Kui got up and said: "What kind of white appearance, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is serious, the grass people are now clothed, and I heard that Liaodong is rich in ginseng and deer antlers, so I came here." I have heard for a long time that Corporal Dan Lixian, the prince of Yan, has 3,000 diners under his door, and the old man has just come to have a meal. ”

Everyone laughed, and Prince Dan continued: "Bai Gong is polite, today is full of friends, why don't I ......introduce Bai Gong one by one."

Prince Dan got up and walked to one of the tables and introduced, "This is my teacher, Mr. Ju Wu. ”

Ju Wu hugged his fists: "I heard that Bai Gong has a set of eight-character mantras for doing business, and applies the art of war to business warfare, I wonder if Bai Gong can explain one or two?" ”

Bai Kui said with a smile: "What is the eight-character mantra, it is just the eight-character principle that the old man taught Erlang, since Mr. Ju mentioned it, the old man will talk about it a little bit." The old man summed up his business principles into eight words, that is, 'people abandon me to take, people take me and', the specific method is in the harvest season or good year, when farmers sell a large amount of grain, they buy grain in a timely manner, and then sell silk, lacquerware and other necessities to farmers who are relatively wealthy at this time. And when the year is bad or the harvest is not good, the grain is sold at the right time, and at the same time, the unsalable handicraft raw materials and products are purchased. ”

Ju Wu asked: "The purpose of doing business is to make money and make profits, and Bai Gong's 'people take me with', isn't it a money-losing business?" ”

Bai Kui explained with a smile: "The 'and' that the old man said is to give people benefits. When some goods are overstocked and unsalable, some profiteers sit back and wait for the price to fall lower before buying in large quantities, while the old man buys them at a higher price than others. When the market was short of food, the profiteers hoarded it again, but the old man sold it at a lower price than others. In doing so, it seems to be a loss, but in fact, it occupies the market opportunity and satisfies the needs of the people, which can not only ensure that it can gain the initiative in business and obtain huge profits, but also stabilize the market and prevent chaos."

A young man at another table suddenly said: "Bai Gong is high, I think Bai Gong is more powerful than Lu Xiang of Qin State!" ”

Bai Kui looked at the voice and asked, "Who is this?" ”
