Chapter 142: Catching the Wind and Washing the Dust
In a wooden house in Shuizhai, there was the sound of pushing bottles and changing lamps.
Gan Cunxiao was full of wine with a hint of drunkenness: "Drink, today we are not drunk and do not return"
"Full, full" Gao Zhiyuan picked up the wine jar and poured it wildly at the wine bottle in front.
Jia Nian picked up the wine bottle and saluted the two of them: "The big master, the second master, please"
"Please" all three of them drank at the same time.
Gan Cunxiao casually put the empty wine bottle on the table and slowly closed his eyes.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, as if he was a little sober: "The yellow scarf is coming, Chaohu Lake is stormy, and Mayor Jia can come to the aid at this time to show his true temperament."
"Changhe Town and Guizhai are dependent on each other, and it is only natural to come to help. Besides, the Yellow Turban bandits are extremely vicious, once Guizhai is destroyed, how can I have Changhe Town alone," Jia Nian said.
These words can be regarded as the truth, so in the ears of Gan Cunxiao and Gao Zhiyuan, there is a little more sincerity.
"Mayor Jia is a visionary and admirable," Gan Cunxiao said slowly.
Jia Nian hurriedly replied: "Compared with the big boss, it is like a firefly and a bright moon."
"If it weren't for Guizhai collecting taxes and protecting them, my Changhe Town would not be where it is today," Jia Nian said cautiously.
Hearing about the tax collection, Gan Cunxiao's eyes flashed with a hint of pride. It turns out that it is easier to put away the protection money than to bother to rob: "Mayor Jia is too modest"
"Where, where, ......," Jia Nian responded.
Gan Cunxiao looked at Gao Zhiyuan, who immediately understood.
"The Yellow Turban is powerful, I don't know if Mayor Jia has a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Gao Zhiyuan took the opportunity to ask.
Jia Nian shook his head: "I am only a shallow learner, and only the two masters are looking forward."
"Mayor Jia is really a wonderful person" Gan Cunxiao saw that Jia Nian knew current affairs so well, and his heart was very happy.
Then the conversation changed: "Changhe Town is young and strong, and the master is not an unkind person, this time I will face the yellow scarf, and I will be the main force in Baifan Water Village." Mayor Jia and the soldiers of Changhe Town can respond at any time."
"Command" Jia Nian looked straight and replied immediately.
Gan Cunxiao smiled: "We're just drinking and chatting now, Mayor Jia doesn't need to be so serious"
After speaking, he glanced at Gao Zhiyuan.
"You and I hit it off at first sight, I hope Mayor Jia can always accompany me in this battle against the Yellow Turban, I don't know if it's okay?" Gao Zhiyuan asked.
Jia Nian knew in his heart: "It is a good thing to be able to face the Yellow Turban bandits with the second master"
"Happy" couldn't imagine that things were so smooth, and Gan Cunxiao's favor increased greatly.
personally picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Jia Nian: "It is a blessing for me to meet Mayor Jia, and I am the representative of Baifan Water Village Jingchanghe Town."
"Please" Jia Nian hurriedly picked up the wine bottle.
The two drank it all at the same time.
Gan Cunxiao put the empty wine bottle on the desk, revealing a heartfelt look: "It's not a secret, when Mayor Jia came, the master hesitated for a long time. In the end, because of one thing, I had to ask the mayor to come in person."
"I don't know what?" Jia Nian asked, his tone full of suspicion.
Gao Zhiyuan took over the words and probed Jia Nian: "It stands to reason that Ge Po Yellow Turban is fighting with Thorn Shi outside Shouchun City, why did it appear in Chaohu Lake and stationed on the opposite bank?" ”
"I don't know," Jia Nian replied.
Gan Cunxiao and Gao Zhiyuan glanced at each other, and went straight to the thing they were most concerned about: "As a child of a family, Jia Gongzi has a lot of connections in Lujiang, and he must be familiar with Lord Taishou."
"Now that Gepo Yellow Turban is coming, Taishou is about to return to help, if he can use the banner of Mayor Jia. I can meet with Taishou and keep me worry-free," Gao Zhiyuan said with anticipation on his face.
Gan Cunxiao's eyes also showed a hot light, isn't the heritage of the family this incomparably huge relationship network? .
Looking at the eyes of the two, Jia Nian couldn't help but be stunned.
A list of relationships emerges in front of you.
Fiancée: Qiao Jing (the two have long been married)
Future father-in-law: Qiao Guolao (I heard that the Jia family was razed to the ground, and there is a possibility of regretting marriage)
Future sister-in-law: Qiao Wan (Qiao Jing's sister, honorific title Xiao Qiao)
Friend: Liu Ye
Cousin: Jia Xu
Acquaintance: Lu Kang
Wancheng Jia is a branch of Wuwei Jia, founded by his grandfather Jia Wei a hundred years ago, and originated in Lujiang because of his business.
Jia Nian was speechless, and only then did he explain why the imperial court would be angry, and Taishou would send troops to sweep Chaohu.
It's just that these relationships appeared too late, and if I had known that I had gone directly to Jia Xu, maybe there would be more room for development.
This thought has just appeared and has dissipated, although the analysis is not wrong, but it would not be a pity if there was no Changhe Town. Moreover, the development in Lujiang may be more magnificent than relying on Jia Xu.
"The big boss is well-informed, and I admire it," Jia Nian sighed.
Gan Cunxiao smiled proudly: "The matter of the Jia family in Wancheng is like thunder, how can the master not know"
"With the banner of the mayor, I can survive this crisis, and the mayor can also get military achievements. If you can enter the eyes of Lu Taishou, wouldn't the position of Chaohu Chief be at your fingertips," Gan Cunxiao said.
As the name suggests, Chaohu Chief is an official position that manages the entire Chaohu Lake.
My heart beat violently, and I didn't expect that there would be such a benefit. Although this position seems to be a chicken rib now, once he has the strength to dominate Chaohu, it will inevitably explode with great power.
What do you want to recruit talents and appease the people? It is a name.
Zheng Bao in history obviously has the strength to make Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Ce jealous. Why was he destroyed by Liu Ye alone? It's not because it's not right.
Once there is a name that matches the strength, expanding the power is a matter of course.
Thinking about these things, Jia Nian spoke up: "The people of Changhe Town are willing to serve the work of dogs and horses"
"It's just mutual benefit and reciprocity," Gan Cunxiao let out a loud laugh.
Gao Zhiyuan took a deep look at Jia Nian and deliberately quipped: "I am here to congratulate Mayor Jia on his promotion, and please take care of him in the future."
"Changhe Town and Baifan Water Village are one, how can you take care of them?" Jia Nian replied with a smile on his face, but his heart was full of vigilance. What kind of calculation are these two masters making, and why are they so unpredictable. Could it be that those mirrors are wrong? Or does it mean that everything has some kind of meaning?
The more Gan Cunxiao looked at it, the more pleasing it felt to the eye, and the smile on his face became a little thicker: "It's a good one, and the children of the family are amazing."
"When the yellow scarf retreats, you and I will be bright and dark, and Chaohu will be carefree again" Gan Cunxiao thought of the happy place and laughed again.
Jia Nian picked up the wine jar and filled all the wine bottles on the table: "Whether it is the mayor of the town or the mayor of Chaohu, this all depends on the prestige of your village." I can't express my gratitude in my heart, I can only pay tribute to the two masters in a bottle, as a sign of respect"
"Please" Gan Cunxiao and Gao Zhiyuan picked up the wine bottle at the same time and drank it all.
The three of them diverted the topic, and the atmosphere became warm.
The bottle was constantly being pushed and replaced, and the strong smell of alcohol spread through the door to the outside.
