Qinjiazhuang ancestral hall.

Qin Huaidao came in a hurry and saw Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was roasting the fire, wearing a black windbreaker, stirring the fire with a stick, there were several guards standing at the door, and even the women who were cooking were driven away, so it was going to be dark, what would they eat if they didn't cook? Qin Huaidao's heart was cold—this is too much!

Just now Luo Zhang mentioned that when he came back from escorting the car, he met King Wei and asked to come to Qinjiazhuang to see him, Luo Zhang had no choice but to bring it in, but this person took himself too seriously, right?

"King Wei, is there something?" Qin Huaidao got straight to the point.

"Sit down and talk." King Wei pointed to a low stool next to him and did not get up.

Qin Huai was happy, this guy really took himself seriously, but unfortunately his sense of superiority was used in the wrong place, and he said unceremoniously: "The lower officials have a lot of things to do, what advice does King Wei have when he comes over?" ”

"Since Lord Qin has something to do, let's get straight to the point, 20,000 taels of silver, I want the method of furnace firing, how about it?" King Wei said coldly.

Qin Huaidao didn't like the other party's high spirits, and said bluntly: "No, if there is nothing else to do King Wei, please come back, if people know that King Wei has come to Qinjiazhuang, and think that the lower officials have befriended the prince and have the heart of rebellion, then they will be wronged." ”

"Lord Qin doesn't need to be so distant." King Wei got up and said with some displeasure: "Let's say it straight, the king of the furnace took it back to find someone to study, the craftsman said that the cost is more than one tael of silver, and the task assigned by the father is 100,000, that is, more than 100,000 taels of silver, this king can't take out so much, since you dare to give it away for free, there must be a way to reduce costs, as long as you are willing to take it out, this king owes you a favor, how?" ”

"King Wei's favor is too precious, and I am afraid that the lower officials will not be blessed." Qin Huaidao directly refused, the firing furnace involved the production of lime, as well as the production of coke, and it was impossible to give.

King Wei frowned slightly, but chuckled: "Why should Lord Qin refuse so decisively, you and I are both young people, and we should communicate more in Japan, and this king also knows some people, maybe it will be helpful to Lord Qin." ”

This has the meaning of throwing an olive branch.

But there is also a threat to it.

Qin Huaidao almost didn't laugh out loud when he heard it, what does it mean to come to the future? Do you really think that you can reach the great treasure and control the fate of others in the future? Who to threaten?

"Don't be in a hurry to say no." King Wei continued: "Lord Qin, as long as you burn the law to this king, this king does not prevent you from continuing to use it in the future, but it is limited to you and me, 30,000 taels of silver, from now on, how about we cooperate and make a living together?" ”

There are many meanings of cooperation, depending on how to understand it.

Qin Huaidao didn't want to understand, and he didn't bother to understand, so he refused again: "King Wei said that he laughed, this law is the foundation of the government's life, and it will never be given to anyone." ”

"Won't give anyone?" King Wei asked.

"Of course!"

"That's fine, please remember this sentence." King Wei changed his words and said with a smile: "Since Lord Qin is unwilling to sell, then forget it, I don't know if Lord Qin's coal can be sold?" Charcoal is too expensive to burn, so you can only use coal, otherwise it will delay the furnace firing, and you will lose the trust of your father and the emperor, and it will also suffer the people. ”

Qin Huaidao reacted a little, King Wei first threw out the purchase of refining law enforcement, and even put on an arrogant look, including asking the guards to drive away the people who cooked, all on purpose, just to provoke himself and let him refuse, and then proposed to buy coal, which was entrusted by the Holy Lord, and it was a bitter people, moral kidnapping, so that he was embarrassed to refuse again.

Isn't it tiring to buy something that is still so calculated?

Coal has no technical content, the mountains are all over the place, why do you refuse the silver sent to the door?

So, Qin Huaidao smiled: "Coal can be sold, it depends on what price King Wei gives." ”

"The price is easy to say, Lord Qin has the people in his heart, and this king will definitely say a few more kind words in front of his father when he has the opportunity." King Wei said with a smile, like a spring breeze, which makes people close.

This ability to change the face is breathtaking, and the means of encircling people come as soon as they open their mouths, and they are also beyond people's reach, and they must be tempted by another person, after all, King Wei is deeply liked by the saints, and from time to time he says a few good words to let the saints remember that the success is not just around the corner.

Of course, there is another layer of meaning behind these words, reminding Qin Huaidao that King Wei is deeply favored by the saint, and the price is high, so be careful to say something else in front of the saint.

Whether it is an olive branch or a threat, it is just placed in front of Qin Huaidao.

King Wei looked at Qin Huaidao calmly, his eyes were a little deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qin Huaidao was very disdainful in his heart, this still needs to be chosen? But for the sake of the silver, he didn't mind cooperating, and pretended to be grateful and said: "King Wei is deeply loved by the saints and often summoned, so there is King Lao Wei." ”

"It's good to say, Lord Qin is excellent, loyal and courageous, and cares about the people, and is diligent in the king's affairs, presumably my father likes it in his heart, and he will be reused without the king's words."

King Wei praised a few words with satisfaction, with a smile in his eyes, revealing kindness: "I heard that the freight of coal is a big car of fifty Wen, and it will take a few Wen to dig it out, and this king can't chill Lord Qin's heart, why don't you take a big car of sixty Wen and pull two thousand cars first, how about it?" ”

This guy really doesn't want a Bilian!

Sixty Wen is not even enough for the cost, Qin Huaidao felt cold in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "King Wei, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is easy to have accidents, in case of falling a person, the compensation is a large amount of silver, since the King of Wei has found out the fifty Wen freight, he must know the compensation promised by the lower officials, which is two hundred and one people." ”

"Lord Qin is merciful, and the compensation given to the entire Chang'an, no, the entire Tang Dynasty is the only one, so let's do it, seventy Wen and a big cart, this king is here with sincerity, and I also ask Lord Qin to support one or two, all for the sake of the court."

Qin Huaidao smiled quietly: "It's cold, I can't bear it if I don't give everyone a good meal, King Wei should know that the lower officials give everyone meat to eat, and it's enough, the cost is too high, and the guards are also expenses, people eat horses and chew, and the real cost of each big cart is close to three hundred Wen." ”

"Then three hundred Wen is fine, you can't let Lord Qin lose money." King Wei smiled.

Qin Huaidao knew at a glance that the other party's psychological price was more than three hundred Wen, there was no coal, and the cost of the other party's stove was scary, so he had a good opportunity not to be sorry for the old and young masters of Qinjiazhuang, and he was also sorry that he was almost assassinated, so he said: "Three hundred Wen is barely enough for the cost, in case someone ambushes again, it is not enough to accompany a few people, the risk is too great, and it will snow soon, the road is slippery and easy to have an accident, the next official is ready to stop the operation, and I will talk about it in the spring." ”

"Five hundred wen, no more." King Wei's face sank.

Qin Huaidao agreed: "Five hundred Wen is a lot, King Wei is magnificent, and the lower officials agreed, but it will take a few days, and Qinjiazhuang is not enough recently." ”

Where could King Wei not see that Qin Huaidao was taking the opportunity to raise the price and play tricks on himself, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and said, "Time is pressing, I don't know how Lord Qin can agree?" ”

Qin Huaidao said with a smile: "One tael of silver and a big cart, if someone is killed, two hundred taels of silver for one person's pension, if the king of Wei thinks it is okay, the lower officials will stop Qinjiazhuang with coal and use it for the king of Wei first." ”
