Chapter Twenty-Six: Black-Box Operations
Liu Ye didn't bother to go around in circles with Wei Lu, and asked him bluntly what his purpose was.
Wei Lu nodded approvingly: "It is worthy of the right lady who makes King Zuo Xian and Master Shi deeply obsessed!" It's the first time I've seen a woman as bold as you! To tell you the truth, the first time I saw you, I was attracted to you, not because of your beauty, but because you have a different smell on you, all in all, it is very charming. ”
"It's like a wild horse with a violent temperament, oh, I may not be able to describe it appropriately, please bear with me Mrs. Right! But that's what I really think, my horse training skills are not bad, and horses that ordinary people can't train can become obedient to me. When I saw you, I was bent on taming you and making you obedient to me. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity, I didn't expect you to be a woman from Wusun Kunmo, and you also maintain an ambiguous relationship with King Zuo Xian and Master Shi, I don't like women who are too complicated, especially women who have an affair with the Wusun royal family. If you had been a little simpler, I wouldn't have let you go just now. ”
"That's good, even if you're still self-aware. By the way, the taste you said shouldn't be the rancid taste of noodle sauce! Liu Ye snorted, "In my impression, you are the rancid noodle sauce that the woman threw on my skirt, no matter how you look at it, it is disgusting, so I can only throw away that skirt as well." Even so, I can still smell that rancid smell from time to time, which is really annoying! ”
Wei Lu's two eyebrows were tangled together, and he smiled self-deprecatingly: "It turns out that I have made such a deep impression on you!" ”
Liu Ye smiled but didn't answer, Wei Lu flattened his mouth, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, let's talk about business!" Wei intends to expand his business to Dahan, hoping that Mrs. Right can help. ”
"That's your condition? You're trying to do so much just to do business? Liu Ye was quite surprised, she thought that Wei Lu asked for much more than that.
"Wei is a businessman, the contest between your Han and Wusun has nothing to do with me, and I don't even care about the Huns, all I care about is business. Whoever can bring me greater benefits will be my friend, and whoever will be able to get my help. Mrs. Right, you don't have to doubt my sincerity, I did move your thoughts, but as you said, I am a self-aware person, you are a woman I can't touch, I don't have any benefit if I touch you, maybe I will cause a lot of trouble, I have never lacked women, why bother myself! ”
Wei Lu said this frankly enough, Liu Ye began to "appreciate" him a little, hypocritical people abound in this world, and it is rare to see such an honest person.
Liu Ye raised his chin and motioned for him to continue, Wei Lu cleared his throat and said, "As far as I know, the vast majority of the high-quality horses requisitioned by the Han are from Wusun, in fact, the horse breeds of our Huns are also very good, and the price is also negotiable. If Mrs. Right is willing to make it convenient, Wei will definitely repay ......"
"It will not work if the Xiongnu's horses are sold to the Han Dynasty." Liu Ye interrupted him, and before he went crazy, he explained, "You think, the Han and the Xiongnu are feuding, how can I openly help you sell the Xiongnu horse!" In Dahan, no one wants to do business with the Huns, which is why your horse can only be sold to the people of the Western Regions. If I do, I'll be treated as a traitor. ”
Wei Lu's face turned pale, he felt that he had been tricked, but Liu Ye's words changed: "You can't do this clearly, it's still feasible to operate in the dark." ”
"Black-box operation?" Wei Lu was really confused now, and humbly asked her for advice, "What does it mean to operate in the dark?" ”
"Don't you understand this? Alas, it's terrible to be uneducated! You people in the Western Regions look down on Han people everywhere, in fact, you have an inferiority complex! Liu Ye counted Wei Lu, secretly proud in his heart, this word is the crystallization of the wisdom of working people in modern society, it is strange that he can understand it.
Wei Lu endured it and didn't have a seizure, since Liu Ye said that there was still a chance to turn around, he listened to what she had to say.
"Now that Akaya Castle has been rebuilt, the largest horse farm in Wusun is located here. When the Han envoy came to ask for horses, he first had to see me, and I also reported the number of horses that the Han asked for to the king, and I reported half of the price, and then mixed your horse with Wusun's. Since I am the right lady of Wusun, it is not difficult to do something in the racecourse! In this way, your goal of selling horses to make money has been achieved, and I don't have to bear the infamy, the best of both worlds! It's called a black box operation, you get the idea? ”
Wei Lu thought about what she said carefully, slapped her thigh suddenly, and praised sincerely: "Mrs. Right is really shrewd, what a dark box operation, Wei has been taught!" ”
"Where, where, Wei Gongzi thinks it's appropriate!" Liu Ye had to say that Wei Lu's scourge face, coupled with the action of an uncle who slapped his thigh, was really not suitable.
"Appropriate, appropriate, I think it's perfect!" Wei Lu was overjoyed, and kept patting his ass, "Mrs. Right's idea is so good, why didn't I think of it, it seems that I found the right one for you, the old guy in Ubuji only thinks about getting more benefits for himself, so he won't think about me." ”
Wei Lu laughed heartily, the atmosphere of the conversation became much more harmonious, the more he thought about it, the more right he became, and frequently gave Liu Ye a thumbs up: "Mrs. Right, I have served you, and in the future, my horse will be entrusted to you, everyone has money to earn together!" ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say......" Liu Ye only then knew that there were still kickbacks to eat, although her plan was not good for Wusun, but instead of letting Ubuji fatten his pocket, it was better to take it herself. Who doesn't need money in this world, prepare enough strength to deal with Jun Sumi, what is she to hesitate about, even if it is to be a corrupt official.
After settling Wei Lu, Liu Ye also had something to say: "Wei Gongzi has great powers, and the movements in Chigu City can't escape your eyes, you have arranged so many eyeliner, are they all trustworthy?" If the news leaks out, embarrassing me will make you unable to get off the stage!
Wei Lu raised his index finger and shook it, with a look of unbeatenness: "Mrs. Right, don't worry, even if my subordinates eat the gall of the ambitious leopard, they will not dare to betray me." Otherwise, where do I have the confidence to negotiate terms with you! From now on, I will be your eyeliner, whether you are chic with Zuo Xianwang, or happy with the teacher, I will keep it a secret for you. ”
"Oh, it's a big breath! Don't forget, Ubuji is not so easy to fool, and it is not easy to hide from him! One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, he looks at me very unpleasantly now, and he is looking forward to catching some tricks to play, you not only have to be optimistic about your subordinates, but also have to keep an eye on him, such a difficult task, Wei Gongzi, can you really do it foolproof? Liu Ye deliberately provoked him.
Wei Lu pursed his lips with disdain: "He is almost too old to walk, what qualifications does he have to fight with Mrs. You!" I don't mean to be a light enemy when I say this, although he has a very high status in Wusun, but in this Chigu City, it's still my Wei who has the final say. Okay, I'll keep an eye on him for you, and I'll tell you if there's a slight change, how is it? ”
Liu Ye nodded with satisfaction: "Then it's hard for you, Master Wei." ”
"It is an honor for me to serve Mrs. Right."
Liu Ye and Wei Lu negotiated the terms of exchange, and the news was indeed more well-informed than before, and Ubuji's every move was under her control. For example, he was monitoring her movements, keeping daily records, and it is said that several parchment scrolls were now written. If he has the opportunity, Liu Ye would like to see how he writes, but he also knows that words such as "pampered and arrogant", "arbitrary", and "ignorant" are indispensable.
At first, Shizhong, Chang Hui and Feng Yan couldn't understand Liu Ye's approach, but with the help of Wei Lu, they were indeed much more convenient than before, and they were ahead of Ubuji in everything, avoiding the conflict between the Han craftsmen and the Wusun craftsmen, and saving a lot of trouble.
Even so, Liu Ye and the others don't regard Wei Lu as their own from the bottom of their hearts, they are only a cooperative relationship at present, and everyone takes what they need.
The task of the hundred shops sent to Liu Ye by Jun Sumi is almost completed, which means that Ubuji is about to reveal his true face. According to their plan to realize the discussion, after Ubuji killed all the Han craftsmen, they were charged with escaping, and then Liu Ye was punished for failing to take care of them.
Wei Lu never does loss-making business, he has been running errands for Liu Ye for a while, and often asks whether there are any envoys from Dahan to buy horses, intentionally or unintentionally. Liu Ye understood his intentions, but the time had not yet come, so he couldn't be in a hurry. She promised to help him sell horses, not for the kickback, but to find a way out for these Han craftsmen whose lives were hanging by a thread.
She can mix all of Wei Lu's horses in Wusun Mali and sell them to Dahan, so that Dahan craftsmen can also escape, of course, Wei Lu will not help so easily, but she will let him agree.
Liu Ye and Weng Guimi get together less and leave more, but this does not affect their relationship, Liu Ye often goes to see him accompanied by Chang Hui and Feng Yan. Shizhong never went up the mountain again on the grounds of taking care of the craftsman, and Qing Ling knew that he was avoiding her, and it was useless to be in a hurry.
At midnight, Liu Ye went to visit Weng Guimi, Qingling saw that she didn't have a good face, and she was even more angry when she saw her and Weng Guimi.
"Ye'er, you've lost a lot of weight these days." Weng Guimi caressed her cheeks distressedly, and blamed himself, "It's all because I'm useless, I can't share it for you, I, I'm no different from a waste......
Liu Ye smiled and shook his head: "Suo Lang, why do you say that!" Now all you can do is wait and wait for the right moment to turn defeat into victory! ”
"Well, I'll listen to you." Weng Guimi moved her into his arms, and the two in love whispered.
Seeing this, Qing Ling, who was hiding outside the window, couldn't stand it anymore, she was not worth it in the teacher, and the woman she loved in the teacher was lying in the arms of other men, and he actually said that he was willing.
"The woman of the watery poplar flower, phew!" Qing Ling snorted, turned around and walked back to her room, passing by the makeshift stable, she saw Weng Guimi's big white horse pacing back and forth restlessly, this horse is very humane, probably knows that its owner is in danger, from morning till night is silent, rarely makes any noise.
Qing Ling felt strange and looked at it for a while, and the big white horse's behavior became more and more impatient, it stretched its neck to look down the mountain, and its mouth made a "hissing" sound.
