Chapter 378: Visiting Ning Jin (2) (Asking for Collections, Recommendations, and Subscriptions)
The weather was too hot, Su Jun only wore a plain clothes and walked on a horse, while behind him, Gao Meng, his slave and the accompanying guards were all dressed neatly, wearing armor, although it was really a great crime to wear iron armor to march in the sun at this time, but his slave did not allow the guards to unload their helmets and hang them, even if Su Jun spoke, he also let him come back, since he ate Yan Qinghua's board, his slave did not allow himself to make even the slightest mistake.
Chu Xuan was still sitting in the carriage, but the curtains around the carriage were removed, and like Su Jun, his face was also dripping with sweat, his face was flushed, and everyone was relieved to see the crowd in front of them, and they were finally here.
"Chen Qiuping, the county guard of Ningjin County, led the county officials and gentry to welcome the county head." Chen Qiuping bowed deeply, and everyone behind him also saluted.
Su Jun laughed and jumped off the horse, and pulled Chen Qiuping up casually, "County Chief Chen and everyone are not polite, this ghost weather is so hot that it makes people panic, and you are still waiting for me under the sun, isn't this looking for guilt?" ”
Chen Qiuping said: "It is an honor for the county head to come to our county, not to mention that it is just a little sun now, it is a knife, and the big guy has to come to greet the county head!" ”
Su Jun said with a smile: "County Chief Chen, this way, the hundred counties of Ningjin County live and work in peace and contentment, and you are rich, it can be seen that you are indeed a capable official, but I didn't expect that your kung fu is not bad, looking at you, it looks like you have just been fished out of the water." ”
Chen Qiuping smiled and said: "It's also an honor to be able to photograph the sycophants of the county head, some people want to shoot, but they can't find a way!" ”
This sentence made everyone laugh, and even the slave who didn't smile laughed out loud, Su Jun glanced at Chen Qiuping with some surprise, this person is not simple, not only can he do things, but he is also a first-class shrewd, three or two sentences, not only made himself feel good about him, but also made everyone present relaxed.
"The lower official has prepared wine and food in the county seat to wash the dust of the county head." Chen Qiuping said.
"Okay, let's go, it's too hot this weather, standing on the side of the road, the big guys are also guilty, so let's hurry into the city, find a shady place, drink iced tea, and fan to cool off."
Su Jun laughed and jumped on the Qingying horse, Chen Qiuping and the others also hurriedly got on the sedan chair, got on the carriage, led the way in front, and the group of people rushed towards the county seat of Ningjin.
Su Jun's visit to Ningjin County this time is indeed a disguise, his real destination is Meiluo County on the border with Ningjin County, and the inspection of Ningjin County is just to cover everyone's eyes, and White Peony has been waiting for him in Ningjin County, he has been planning for a long time The plan of the Western Union generation, White Peony has come up with a complete plan of action, and this time he is here to officially implement it.
Su Jun did not live in the county office that Chen Qiuping had cleaned up, but lived in the home of Xue Kaiyi, a wealthy man in Ningjin County, which made the gentry of Ningjin County very hot to Xue Kaiyi.
Chen Qiuping was puzzled, this Xue Kaiyi was purchased by Su Jun in Ningjin County after he took power in Taidang County, and as far as he knew, this Xue Kaiyi was a big salt merchant in Meiluo County, and he was also a hand-eyed figure in Meiluo County, so it was not surprising to be in contact with Su Jun, but as a businessman, why did he have such a big backer in Taidang County, but he had never informed himself in the past few months? As long as he makes a noise, he will give him some face if he is reasonable.
Su Jun ignored Chen Qiuping's incomprehension, and after eating the reception banquet and listening to Chen Qiuping's report hastily, he hurriedly lived in Xue Kaiyi's mansion, which made Chen Qiuping understand that Su Jun came to Ningjin County for another purpose.
As for what it was for, since the county head didn't tell him, he wouldn't be stupid enough to ask for clarification, as long as Su Zhongqing didn't come to him for business, no matter what he did, it had nothing to do with him, as long as he did his duty.
When he arrived at Xue Kaiyi's mansion, after some washing, Su Jun, who was already refreshed, was sitting in the room, and opposite him, there was Bai Peony, and Su Jun was looking through the stack of copywriting handed over to him by Bai Peony.
After reading it carefully, Su Jun handed the copywriting to Chu Xuan and said, "It's good to cross from the west of Meiluo County, but the sea is stormy, and pirates are rampant, and the danger is extremely great, White Peony, have you made up your mind?" ”
Bai Peony smiled: "Master Su, I naturally made up my mind, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to come to Ningjin County in person, but the problem of this ship still needs to be solved by Master Su!" ”
Su Jun nodded and said, "I understand that if you want to keep you safe and free from pirates as much as possible, the best plan is to get a warship of the Merlot County Marines to go to sea." I'm here to solve this problem, and by the way, to get to know the owner of Merlotshire! ”
Bai Peony said with a smile: "Seeing Su Ye receiving me in Xue Kaiyi's mansion, I know that Su Ye is already confident." ”
"Well, Xue Kaiyi is a big salt merchant in Meiluo County, you know this, my Taidang County is not allowed to sell salt privately, but all the salt trading is handed over to him, and he will transport the salt from Meiluo County and hand it over to the Taidang County Government, this is a unique business, and he naturally wants to focus on it."
"Since ancient times, salt has been a huge profit, there are many salt merchants in Merlot County, but Su Ye gave him all the salt supplied to a county, can he not try to please him? I'm afraid this house is also in your name, right? ”
Su Jun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Then you guessed wrong, but this house was given to Chu Xuan by Boss Xue." ”
White Peony looked up at Chu Xuan on the side, the other party was looking at her with a smile, Bai Peony was stunned, Chu Xuan seemed to be harmless to humans and animals, but she was very powerful, just looking at her silently entering the blood red demon queen, and in a short period of time, she could be in charge of half of the country like Xi Shi, and this method can be seen.
After Chu Xuan used the insiders of the original Taidang County Blood Red Demon Ji to set up the shelf, he quietly let all the Xi Shi people in Taidang County stand aside in a short period of time, and was completely excluded from the Taidang County intelligence system, otherwise he would not have been forced to be helpless, so he could only cross west and find no other way.
While speaking, Su Jun sent someone to summon Xue Kaiyi, looking at the three people in the room, Xue Kaiyi's face was humble, although he was rich and rivaled the country, but in the eyes of these powerful people, it was nothing, a word could let him go to heaven, and a word could also let him go to hell, Taidang County changed hands, he saw the opportunity quickly, and soon found the way of the blood red demon queen, the return was naturally amazing, all the people who used to sell salt to Taidang County were banned, and only he got the exclusive monopoly, All it took was to provide Taidang County with some information about Merlot County on time.
