Chapter 220: Friendship That Changed Flavor (Solution)
After last night's farce, Fengxiang Town is still very calm, and it looks no different. It's just that the adventurous players in Fengxiang obviously feel that Fengxiang's security force has been strengthened, and this strengthening is not only reflected in the number of people, but also the attention of the garrison troops and martial artists is also more concentrated.
Long-term stability can easily make people lose their vigilance, and it is not a good thing to come to a little stimulation once in a while!
At noon, Chen Gong found Ah Niu.
"My lord, the messenger we sent to the state capital has returned, and he is accompanied by that Gonggong."
Ah Niu's spirits perked up, and he had sent someone to the state capital to find Gong Zheng, just for Fengxiang's silk sales problem. Feng Xiang cleared almost all the obstacles on the road to the test of the guò system, and the only thing that was not determined was the acquisition of silk. Now that Gong Zheng is coming, this matter will soon be settled!
A certain town mayor was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said to Chen Gong:
"Gongtai, you go and get something to my office." Ah Niu moved closer and whispered a few words to Chen Gong.
"Lord, are you sure you want to do this? Is that thing really going to be used?! Chen Gong was shocked and looked at Ah Niu in surprise.
"It's okay, I'm measured. It's still unknown whether it will be used or not, so go ahead. Ah Niu smiled faintly, but he couldn't help but have a trace of coldness in his expression.
Looking at Chen Gong's distant back, a certain mayor retracted his gaze, it was time to meet Gong Zheng.
Seeing Gong Zheng standing upright outside the town from a distance, Ah Niu couldn't help but show a sincere smile on his face.
Fengxiang Town has been able to show up to today, and Gong Zheng's selfless help has contributed a lot! In fact, Ah Niu and Gong Zheng have long been friends. Otherwise, Gong Zheng, as the son of Qingzhou Thorn Shi, really has no reason to run to Fengxiang Town again and again.
This time he sent someone to the state capital to find Gong Zheng, Ah Niu had already guessed that Gong Zheng would come to the party under the pretext of an excuse, and now when he sees it, it is not surprising.
"Childe, Ah Niu is polite." Ah Niu turned to Gong Zheng and bowed, looking at Gong Zheng with a smile.
However, the next situation made a certain mayor completely unprepared, when Gong Zheng saw Ah Niu coming to greet him, he panicked and hurriedly became confused, looking like he seemed to want to stop Ah Niu's actions, but he was afraid to step forward! Today's Gong Zheng seems to be very different from the relaxed and peaceful Gong Zheng in the past.
The strange things are not limited to this, Gong Zheng panicked for a while, and finally returned to the solemnity of the assassin son. It's just that this solemn embodiment is actually ...... Gong Zheng looked at Ah Niu deeply, the standard posture and standard etiquette made a certain town mayor stunned.
Is this still the same Gong Zheng who is friends with Ah Niu?
"Humble to see Lord Niu!"
Gong Zheng's sentence finally let Ah Niu know the reason why Gong Zheng is "abnormal" today - it is all caused by Ah Niu's promotion!
After the trip to Luoyang, Ah Niu is no longer the former Wuxia Ameng, and the position of General Wupin Zhaode is definitely a well-known figure in Qingzhou. Although Gong Zheng's father is a Qingzhou thorn history, he is not higher than A Niu in terms of grade, let alone Gong Zheng.
"Why should Childe be like this! You and I are friends, what does it have to do with official positions? At the beginning, Ah Niu was just a village chief, but after becoming friends with you, he never made this big gift, does the son think that Ah Niu is a person who forgets his friends after being promoted? Ah Niu said.
Seeing that Gong Zheng was still a little restrained, Ah Niu only said that Gong Zheng couldn't adapt to the huge contrast for a while. The people coming and going at the entrance of the town were obviously not the place to talk, so they took Gong Zheng back to the office to catch up.
When he arrived at the mayor's office, Gong Zheng's expression was really natural, but compared with the previous free and easy, the gap was not ordinarily large. A town mayor couldn't help but be very depressed, at the beginning, he was a small village chief and could get along with Gong Zheng on an equal footing, but now the times are changing, and Gong Zheng's mentality doesn't seem to be adjusted well.
In fact, this matter is not surprising at all. As a player, Ah Niu has known the truth that all people are born equal since he was a child, and when he got along with Gong Zheng before, he didn't have a "low status" at all and felt ashamed of himself; And Gong Zheng in the Three Kingdoms era obviously can't have such an awareness, in the past, getting along with Ah Niu was the embodiment of Gong Zheng's "approachable", and now Ah Niu's identity is above himself, how dare Gong Zheng be like Ah Niu in the past, "I don't know what to do"!
In addition to the respectfulness in behavior, the title has also been upgraded from "Ah Niu" to "Adult".
"I heard that Lord Ah Niu was awarded the title of General Zhaode by the emperor last time, and my father was also very pleased that there was a talent like Lord Ah Niu in Qingzhou. This time I came with a little gift, which can be regarded as a slight celebration of the promotion of adults, and I hope to smile. ”
As Gong Zheng spoke, the two entourages stepped forward with two wooden boxes, carefully placed the boxes on the table, bowed their heads and lowered their hands. The things in the two boxes are obviously gold silk jewelry and the like.
Ah Niu couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that his friendship with Gong Zheng's friend was difficult to return to the state he had before.
In fact, there is often similar helplessness in reality. Brothers or friends who were once close may have a lot of estrangements out of thin air because of unequal status, even if the so-called "superiors" don't think like that at all! Such a thing may also be attributed to a tragedy.
Ah Niu figured this out, and didn't struggle anymore, and asked Gong Zheng:
"What is the matter of Ah Niu looking for Childe this time, presumably the messenger has already made it clear to Childe. This matter is related to whether Feng Xiang can be upgraded to a city smoothly, although he is a little presumptuous, Ah Niu still has the cheekiness to ask for help. If you don't know about silk, can you do it? ”
"Why did Lord Niu say this! The state government already had a large number of silk purchases, and since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court has spent a lot of money to quell the turmoil, and it is necessary to expand export sales to fill the void in the national treasury. The silk produced in Fengxiang Town, I have asked my father for instructions before I came out, and there is no problem with the state government purchasing all of them! ”
Gong Zheng said that the imperial court did plan to increase the export of silk because of the substantial increase in military spending, but the Qingzhou prefecture and the counties were fully capable of increasing production to meet the imperial court's export sales. agreeing to accept Feng Xiang's output is just selling Ah Niu's face.
"So how do you calculate the purchase price?" This is what Ah Niu is most concerned about.
"32o gold/horse, what do you think?" Gong Zheng replied with a smile.
For this price, of course, a certain mayor is very satisfied. Originally, I thought that the state government would definitely take a certain commission from it, but in fact, Ah Niu originally expected the purchase price to be 3oo gold / horse, but I didn't expect it to come completely according to the market price.
"So good! In this way, I Fengxiang is expected to upgrade the city! Ah Niu said happily.
Gong Zheng also smiled: "All along, I have been very optimistic about Lord Aniu's territory, in fact, it is precisely because of Fengxiang that it has brought great honor to Qingzhou." Now that Fengxiang has actually met the requirements of impacting the city, it seems that the 'first city in the world' is going to fall in Qingzhou again. ”
"Fengxiang can have today, not thanks to the son! Ah Niu can make a friend like Childe, it is really my blessing, since it is a friend, Childe should not be a mouthful of lowly positions, Ah Niu heard such words, his heart was really a little sour. After a certain mayor finished speaking, he looked at Gong Zheng with blazing eyes, and his expression was slightly sad.
Gong Zheng had a touched look on his face, hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision. Picking up the teacup on the table and drinking it all, Gong Zheng smiled:
"Ah Niu is really a good man who values love and righteousness, since this is the case, I, Gong Zheng, no longer think about the difference between up and down." After saying this, Gong Zheng seemed to have unloaded a thousand burdens, and the whole person relaxed.
"That's right, no matter what position Ah Niu is in, Gong Zheng is my friend!" A certain mayor also smiled very happily, one hand went out, and soon he and Gong Zheng held it tightly. The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.
The friendship that once tasted bad has finally returned to its normal state!
"The state government bought my silk for 32o gold per horse, and this price was completely the market price, and the state government did not make any profit from it. The normal purchase price, I'm afraid there are not so many! Seeing that Gong Zheng finally untied the knot in his heart, Ah Niu couldn't help but feel curious again.
That's right, the usual price is between 25o and 28o gold/horse. It's just that Ah Niu's identity is not the same as before, and the state capital is not bad at making money, so it should be a help. Ah Niu may not know how high his status is, your official position as a five-rank general Zhaode, are you still afraid that you are not eligible to enjoy this small discount? Gong Zheng smiled, the lord in front of him didn't seem to know himself well enough.
The two were chatting casually, and Chen Gong had already come in with a thing, and the black cloth covered the thing tightly, and he couldn't tell what it was for a while.
"I have a small gift here, I want to ask my son to see if he is interested." Ah Niu smiled mysteriously, and Chen Gong closed the door of the office, and then slowly uncovered the black cloth.
"This is ......," Gong Zheng said in a lost voice.
Half an hour later, the door to the mayor's office opened again.
Gong Zheng looked at the items that Chen Gong had brought in just now, his face was full of excitement, and he was reluctant to look away for a long time, as if his eyes could see what was inside through the black cloth.
"This trip, I didn't expect to have such a harvest, this gift from Ah Niu is so weighty! Without further ado, I'll go back first. Gong Zheng smiled on his face.
"Well, it's good if Childe likes it, and I hope Lord Thorn Shi likes it too." Ah Niu was also very satisfied with Gong Zheng's reaction.
What is it that is covered by the black cloth that makes Gong rejoice as if he has received a treasure?
