Chapter 416: Heart-to-Heart Talk
To put it bluntly, the reception and tea party held by the leaders of the previous life were the receptions and tea parties held by the leaders of the previous life, and a group of high-class people in Pingxi County gathered together in the viewing garden, not only to express their loyalty to the Ganzhou Thorn History, but also to criticize Ye Tiancheng and the Ye family, and finally they ate and drank together, and the dinner was over.
In this dinner, Yan Liqiang and Lei Si sat at the main table together, and the two of them talked and laughed at the dinner table, which became the focus of the audience.
If Yan Liqiang was still in awe of Lei Sitong last year and felt that Yizhou was on top of the assassins, then Yan Liqiang, who went around the imperial capital city and then returned to Ganzhou, looked up to Lei Sitong psychologically.
After all, when Yan Liqiang was in the imperial capital, he had seen the emperor, and the people who had fought the prime minister and the monk and retreated, after experiencing this, and then looking at Lei Sitong in the history of the assassination of Yizhou, the feeling was no longer trembling, but became calm, not shocked, neither humble nor arrogant, Yan Liqiang's demeanor and bearing, so that the officials and sages of Pingxi County present were secretly praised in their hearts.
A person's so-called experience, insight, and experience, that is, he has seen, seen, experienced, and his heart is abundant, and he does not hesitate in front of big scenes and big people, he is calm and natural, and his bearing pattern will naturally come out.
After the dinner, Lei Sitong invited Yan Liqiang to the study of the viewing garden, let people serve tea, and then waved away the attendants, and all of a sudden, there were only Yan Liqiang and Lei Sitong in the study.
"I heard that Lord Sun was also in the garden at the beginning, and promoted Liqiang to a close attendant, and Lord Sun also used this study that day, and Liqiang should be more familiar with this place than me......" Lei Sitong glanced at Yan Liqiang with appreciation, and then personally poured a cup of tea for Yan Liqiang, and pushed the teacup in front of Yan Liqiang.
Yan Liqiang bowed slightly, and then glanced at the study, "Yes, the layout of this study has not changed at all, it is still the same as when Lord Sun came!"
"On the day and Lord Sun said goodbye, another year passed, I heard that on the way back to Beijing, you have worked hard, brave and strategic, the black wind thieves were killed by you, you are also like a fish in water in the imperial capital, deeply respected by His Majesty, "Han Imperial Times" came out, it swept the world, leading the Han Empire first, this Lord Sun's vision of people, I really have to admire, recently in this Ganzhou City, there are people who want to drum up a copy of the Ganzhou Times, this is all influenced by the Liqiang you......"
"The adult has won the award!" Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, spread his hands self-deprecatingly, and sighed, "The adult has a bold personality, in front of the adult, I won't pretend, to be honest, the dragon and the tiger in the imperial capital, I am just a small person, I accidentally hit the coincidence, in order to survive, I can only do my best, but I have offended many people, this time I can return to my hometown in Ganzhou with my tail between my legs, it is already a fluke, adults don't tease me anymore......"
It is comfortable to talk to interesting people, seeing Yan Liqiang so honest, Lei Sitong laughed and slapped the table twice, "Being able to make a name for yourself from that Longtan tiger's den and then retreat with your whole body, to be honest, I didn't expect Liqiang to be so decisive that you can leave the flower world behind you at once!"
"If you don't make a decision, you can't do it, I want to stay in Dijing City again, I don't have a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back alive, when it comes to the world of flowers, I feel that our Ganzhou is not bad, the homeland is difficult to leave, after coming back, it is really comfortable!"
"Liqiang, you are at ease, but as soon as you come back in the name of Qi Yun's supervision, I don't know how many people will be uncomfortable!" Lei Sitong picked up the water cup and blew it gently.
Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, "Sand Turf Seven and other cheap species, if they want to be comfortable, then the entire Han Empire will not be at ease, it is good to make them uncomfortable!"
"Well said!" Lei Sitong put down the teacup, his eyes flashed, "Since I have said this, then I will get straight to the point, Liqiang, you are a smart person, you must also know what I want to see you this time for?"
Yan Liqiang looked at Lei Sitong seriously, "Your Excellency is the Assassin of Ganzhou, the appointment of Qi Yun's Supervisor is a big matter, I naturally understand what Lord Assassin Shi cares about, but to tell the truth, Your Majesty has no intention of using troops for the Seven Divisions of Shatu, the reason why Your Majesty appointed me as Qi Yun's Supervisor is just a gesture, in order to make some people uncomfortable, as for the intention of Your Majesty's gesture, I think Lord Assassin Shi should understand better than me!"
"No soldiers?" Lei Sitong asked again in an accentuated tone, looking at Yan Liqiang with dead eyes.
"No soldiers!" Yan Liqiang nodded affirmatively.
Lei Sitong let out a long breath, a smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly relaxed, "Then it seems that Your Majesty is very important to Liqiang, this is Your Majesty's plan to see Liqiang's ability!"
"Hahaha, my ability is to lead people to do some small business, where can I get into the eyes of adults!" Yan Liqiang smiled modestly.
"Modesty, you are modest, Liqiang, you just returned to Pingxi County a few days ago, the four-wheeled carriage has been made, I think it won't be long, this four-wheeled carriage will be popular all over the world, this is a big skill!" Lei Sitong smiled, "The four-wheeled carriage is still secondary, in my opinion, if such a carriage can be used to transport logistics baggage in the army, the logistics baggage transported by the same horse can be doubled, and the carrying capacity of the road for the same heavy goods is also lower, this is a militaristic weapon, great!"
Yan Liqiang also secretly admired, this Lei Sitong's eyes are really sharp, just look at his four-wheeled carriage, and suddenly think of the significance of this thing in the army, it is estimated that this is the reason why Lei Si met at the same time and desperately put his four-wheeled carriage down, the four-wheeled carriage that people sit in, for comfort, need to use spring suspension, but if the four-wheeled carriage used to pull goods, the spring suspension can naturally be saved, as long as the carriage is handed over to the craftsmen to see, the structure of the bogie is clear at a glance, and it can naturally be imitated by the craftsmen。
"Speaking of doing business, I have a business here, I don't know if adults are interested?" Yan Liqiang smiled and threw out his bait.
"Oh, are you building a four-wheeled carriage?" Lei Sitong suddenly laughed dumbly, "Although I am interested in making money, I will not rob you of this business......
Yan Liqiang also laughed, "The business that can be done with adults is of course not a small business like a four-wheeled carriage, the four-wheeled carriage under my command will at best earn a small amount of money a hundred taels of silver a year, and it is okay to raise a bunch of craftsmen, how can this little money be seen by adults......"
"Poof......" Lei Sitong just took a sip of tea, and when he heard what Yan Liqiang said, he couldn't help but be choked, and all the tea squirted out at once, making his beard stained with a lot of tea, and it fell down drop by drop, Lei Sitong turned his head and glared at Yan Liqiang, his eyes were shining with golden light, and he didn't care about the water droplets on his beard at all, and asked in an unbelievable tone, "What do you say, your four-wheeled carriage can earn a million taels of silver a year?"
"Well, of course, is this a lot?" Yan Liqiang deliberately looked at Lei Sitong with innocent eyes, and blinked, "I am going to sell each four-wheeled carriage for 5,000 taels of silver, one for 5,000 taels, ten taels for 50,000 taels, and one hundred taels is 500,000 taels, with the ability of my manufacturing bureau, I can manufacture hundreds of cars a year, without the slightest problem, and it will be easy to earn a million taels of silver this year!"
"Hahaha......" Lei Sitong laughed, pointed at Yan Liqiang with his finger, and shook his head, "Liqiang, Liqiang, you are joking, I almost believe it, your carriage is good, just that kind of carriage, others can build it at a glance, you have a craftsman battalion, and there are many craftsmen in other places, in this Ganzhou, which craftsman can't build it, let alone a 5000 taels, even if it is 500 taels, there are a lot of people who can build it, how do you earn that 5000 taels?"
"The adults just saw the surface of the carriage, but they didn't know that there was a special thing under the two wheels of the carriage, that thing is now looking at the world, only I can make it, if there is no such thing, even if others can build the same carriage, but the comfort is far away, so with that thing, my carriage can be sold for 5,000 taels of silver, and I don't have to worry about sales......"
"Oh, what are you talking about?" asked Rays with a moment of curiosity.
"That thing is called a spring, and it is a steel ...... that can be soft and hard, and can bend and stretch."
"Ah, steel can still be soft and hard, can be bent and stretched?" Lei Sitong looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, in his impression, the so-called steel is naturally a hard and strong thing, making swords, armor and tools, this can be soft, hard, bent and stretched, and it can be made of iron, it's impossible......
"That carriage is in the middle of the garden, if you don't believe it, you can let people go and see it, just climb under the carriage, and then two people stand on the pedal of the carriage and go up and down......"
"I still don't believe it, there can still be this kind of thing, Liqiang, you stay here for a while, I want to go and see it myself, seeing is believing......" Lei Sitong and Yan Liqiang said a word, and then walked out of the study directly.
Yan Liqiang smiled, drank tea in the study, and waited quietly, sure enough, before he could wait for five minutes, Lei Sitong returned to the study again.
Lei Sitong, who returned to the study, rubbed his hands together, looked at Yan Liqiang with bright eyes, and the smile on his face was so tired that Yan Liqiang suddenly remembered the turtle man who was soliciting customers at the door of the brothel.
"Liqiang, ......"
As soon as Lord Thorn Shi opened his mouth affectionately, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but change his face, and he shivered instantly.
Lord Thorn Shi was still smiling like a flower, with honey in his mouth, and looked at Yan Liqiang with affectionate eyes, "I see that you are not very old, and I am also obsessed with how old you are, it is rare that we are so compatible, I think we will not be divided in the future, you don't want adults to call me, you will call me Uncle Lei in the future, in the future, this Ganzhou is one acre and three points of land, although you are strong and go sideways, who dares to move you, I will lead the troops to destroy him......"
Lord Thorn Shi said murderous words in an affectionate tone, and the harmony was incomparable......
"Thunder...... Uncle Lei ......, "Master Thorn Shi's painting style changed abruptly, and Yan Liqiang was not lightly thundered, so that Yan Liqiang's tongue was a little knotted all of a sudden, and some couldn't turn around...... It seems like...... It's possible...... A mistake was made.
"That's right, we will be a family in the future, hey, you have drunk all this tea, come on, come on, Uncle Lei will pour you tea......" Lei Sitong enthusiastically poured a cup of tea for Yan Liqiang, and Lei Sitong, who put down the teapot, smiled on his face, sighed, and suddenly looked at the ceiling of the room at forty-five degrees," In fact, Uncle Lei is not afraid of polite and strong jokes, I have been in Ganzhou for six years, and I feel that the errand of the assassin is not good, this Ganzhou is too poor, Ganzhou is a border state, a place of a hundred battles, there are many soldiers in Ganzhou, and the supply money and grain given by the imperial court are small, I have to think of a way, but Ganzhou does not have much property, the place is not rich, and the taxes are not much, I have to live with my belt, I know that this Ganzhou people call me Lei Tiger behind their backs, but my tiger, almost have to be hungry to eat vegetarian, why do I move the Ye family, some people say that I am ruthless, some people say that I have a grudge against the Ye family, these are actually not right, because in the final analysis, or a poor word to make trouble......"
