Chapter 35: Four Birds with One Stone
Li Meng knew that Qin Shu was calculating people again, and silently mourned for the prince of the Apocalypse, Jun Wugeng.
Jun Wugeng was also a decent person before his death...... It's just that he was targeted by his master.
However, Li Meng quickly figured out the gains and losses and the truth in this, and he was very glad that he followed Qin Shu, a master who was a little shady but could achieve the desired results.
Just like on the battlefield, great generals always attack only from the rear and flanks of the enemy's soldiers, and the conceited fools talk about fighting to the death from the front every day. A general who wins a battle is a good general, and it doesn't matter what means he uses. His soldiers, in particular, have to thank him for their unscrupulous means, because it is only by relying on these shady intrigues and tricks that their chances of survival will be greatly improved, and they will have a life to live until they enjoy the fruits of victory.
If he didn't become his master's subordinate and followed others, he would have endured the unpredictable calculation of his own master, Qin Shu, which was terrifying to think about.
What's more, the master of his family has never calculated to treat his own people badly, and he can even be said to be very protective of his shortcomings, and he cares about their subordinates very much. For example, among the people who cleaned up this time, there were a few people who went to the restaurant under Qin Shu's name to bully Xiao Si's clerk and often used to make trouble, and the master was helping the people below to take a bad breath.
Li Meng was really glad that he was extremely confident that his master would lead them to the final victory and glory.
"Young Master, it's not good, the Qin Mansion is surrounded!"
Qin Shu, who was far away, heard Liyue's shouts from outside the courtyard, and then saw Liyue rushing in with a solemn face.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know very well, but there are a lot of people around the Qin Mansion outside......"
As soon as Liyue finished speaking, the little guy beside Qin Liang went to Jasmine Courtyard and informed Qin Shu to go to the front hall to entertain guests.
"Father."
Qin Liang was a little entangled, and when he saw Qin Shu coming, he took two steps forward and said, "What's going on with those people outside, how can they name and ask to see you?" ”
In this era, it is not common to have an abrupt door-to-door visit without a visit, and it is necessary for the doorkeeper to enter the house to inform the owner, and the owner can only enter the house with the permission of the owner. The people guarding the door only saw a lot of people gathered at the door through the crack in the door, and did not see the mountain of gifts placed next to it.
In addition, these people came to the door by name to "place" Qin Su, the fifth young master of the Qin Mansion, and they thought that their fifth young master had caused something outside, and attracted the enemy to come to the door, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly locked the door and entered the mansion to report Qin Liang.
Because of the description of the person under the report, Qin Liang also thought that Qin Shu had caused some trouble, and his face was a little bad.
"Father, why don't you let the outside people in first?"
Qin Fei happened to be here, she was wearing a scattered flower Ruyi Luo cigarette skirt today, she looked well-dressed, and she looked even more beautiful like a fairy. Looking at it like this, Qin Fei seemed to be talking about something with Qin Liang before.
"Fifth brother." Qin Fei stood up from the stool with Nana in her arms, bowed slightly to Qin Shu, who she couldn't like at all, turned her head to look at Qin Se, and opened her mouth lightly, "Father, the person who came is a guest, and it is not polite to let the guest wait outside the door for a long time." ”
"That's what Scarlet said."
Qin Liang nodded, straightened his clothes, calmed down a little anxious, and prepared to open the mansion to welcome guests.
He is the left minister of the Apocalypse, except for the emperor Junqian, who dares to be unfavorable to him and the Qin Mansion? And who dares to touch his son?
Qin Liang raised his head and took Qin Shu to prepare to go to the gate of the Qin Mansion, and Qin Fei, who was sent by the ghost, also followed.
"Look, Lord Zuo Xiang is out!"
"And Qin Gongzi!"
The crowd at the gate of the Qin Mansion was bustling, and they were happily squeezing forward.
The gifts were mainly sent by the prince's mansion and the important ministers of the imperial court, and even a few officials came in person in order to take the opportunity to get close to Qin Liang. Before Qin Liang could open the gate of the Qin Mansion, these people looked at each other with gloomy expressions, and scolded each other in their hearts like foxes smelling fishy smells...... But they don't admit that they are all people with the same purpose.
So when these people saw Qin Shu and Qin Liang coming out, they rushed up and chattered.
Qin Liang's head was about to be dizzy, and it took a while for everyone to understand the purpose of these people.
Secretly pulled Qin Shu to the corner, avoiding the people at the door.
"Xiao Wu, why didn't you tell me that you became the gentleman of the Shang study." Qin Liang was both relieved and a little incredulous, and swallowed his saliva, "Didn't you go to the Shangshufang to study your homework?" ”
"It's a long story, father, we have to get rid of this group of gift-givers." Qin Shu said in a low voice, "If it is not handled properly, it will lead to endless troubles." ”
Qin Liang's eyes darkened, of course he knew what Qin Shu said, although he was known for his iron-faced selflessness, unsmiling and unapproachable, he was not a pedantic and dull person.
Now the focus is not on how Qin Shu became Mr. Shang Shufang, and what did he do to provoke these people to win over and give gifts...... The point is, whether to accept this gift or not to receive it.
If you don't accept it, you will offend these people and the forces behind them, and convey to these people that they cannot "cooperate". If you can't cooperate, you're not a friend, and if you're not a friend, you're an enemy...... Therefore, it is not okay not to accept these gifts.
If you accept it, it will enter the eyes of other people, and you may even be seized by political enemies to play on the topic and label him as a bribe and gift.
"So, to accept this gift or not to accept it?" Qin Liang asked Qin Shu in a low voice.
Although it is said that it was given to Qin Shu, Qin Shu's current identity is Qin Liang's son, which is no different from giving it to Qin Liang.
"Collect, of course!" Qin Shu glanced obliquely at the door and continued, "How can the gift sent to the door be brought back by the guests?" ”
"But, this gift is ...... hot."
Qin Liang wanted to speak and stopped.
"Father, don't worry." Qin Shu's face was light and light, "This gift must be accepted, since it is hot, why don't we give it away?" ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Father, the emperor is busy raising relief funds for the Lindong area, and the auction and charity sale venue have also opened...... Why don't we donate all these things to charity sales? Qin Shu solved this difficult matter in a few words, "At that time, it is best to make a list of gifts for charity sales, so that the people below can spread it, and it is best to make it public so that everyone knows that we have not left a single one." ”
Qin Liang's eyes lit up.
This is a very good strategy, and the gift is received, but it is not left in the hand. For these people with extraordinary status, he both refused and did not accept, did not offend the person and did not show his attitude, but continued to maintain neutrality, and did not fall into the mouth of the mouth as evidence of attacking him for bribery.
Moreover, he can also borrow chickens and eggs to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to please the emperor and the emperor, and he can also get a good reputation in the mouth of the people who is honest and loves the people and worries about the country.
