On the streets around Prince Mo's mansion, palanquins and horses of various officials began to gather. A small area of Wudu City was congested by all kinds of people, just because Prince Mo was going to leave for Qi Kingdom.

Dugu Mo kept receiving people in the house, and then he could only pick and choose what was important. Ordinary officials can only be registered, or their subordinates can speak on their behalf.

Even so, officials in positions above state officials have kept Dugu Mo busy.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Prince Mo was so young that he could already take on the important responsibility of the country. ”

"I had a relationship with Prince Mo back then, and I have long looked at him as shrewd and capable. Today really proves that the old man has the skill of observing people. I can imagine that the future of Prince Mo will be even more limitless in the future!"

It wasn't until the sun was over that Dugu Mo could take a breath.

These high-ranking officials have finally coped with it. The latter ones are all small, and his subordinates can receive them on their behalf.

Dugu Mo returned to the council hall to reunite with Wu Zhe, Princess Qing, and Leopard Lao.

"Miss Zhou is worried about travel. I'm really sloppy, and I hope Miss Zhou will bother a lot. As soon as Dugu Mo entered the door, he saw Wu Zhe flipping through a pile of lists, and he sweetly complimented him.

"I'm just looking at what's missing, how much I'm in, and it's saved a lot of trouble to fill it up. Wu Zhe replied casually: "Son, sit down, it's not easy to receive people, right? ”

The leopard didn't understand: "Blame the emperor?"

Princess Qing, who was standing beside Wu Zhe, said: "The emperor has made the edict public, and everyone knows that Prince Mo traveled to Qi Kingdom. Aren't they all coming?"

She no longer calls her father emperor by means of a change of identity, and she prefers it in her heart. After all, she still felt that Emperor Xuanwu was not worthy of the word father.

"Huh. The leopard old smiled, and it was not easy to say that the emperor was not.

"These officials are very attentive, and they are very polite when they come over. Prince Mo drank a large cup of tea in one gulp: "Fortunately, I didn't leave until the afternoon, otherwise I am afraid it would be too late to socialize." ”

Leopard Lao said: "If the emperor is scheduled to leave in the morning. You'll be able to save yourself all these troubles. ”

"Childe, do you know why the emperor set the time in the afternoon, instead of a time in the morning that we have already prepared?" Wu Zhe asked with a smile.

"This ......" Dugu Mo pondered for a while, and couldn't think of it for a while: "I only know that the emperor must have a plan to do this, but it is difficult to guess in a short time." ”

"Hehe, Princess Qing can't think of it?" Wu Zhe deliberately sold a pass and looked at Princess Qing dressed as a maid beside him.

Princess Qing pouted: "Are you testing me?"

"The maid by my side. Naturally, you have to have some ability. Otherwise, be careful that I will kick you out. Wu Zhe laughed.

Princess Qing glanced at Wu Zhe: "Isn't it that the emperor wants Prince Mo to collect money?"

"Collecting money?" Dugu Mo and Leopard Lao were stunned when they heard this, but Dugu Mo reacted very quickly, and shouted: "Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

The leopard old man still wondered: "What?

Dugu Mo didn't say anything when he saw that Wu Zhe was still laughing, and hurriedly explained to Leopard Lao: "The emperor has issued an edict to let the ministers of the entire Wudu know that I am going to envoy to the Qi State." Think about it, the eldest prince just came to the frontier to negotiate before, and he sent me out at this time, what will the ministers think?"

The old leopard patted his head: "They must feel that the eldest prince has lost trust." The emperor thinks that you are the best diplomat, Prince Mo. ”

"That's right, Leopard Lao reacted quickly. Wu Zhe nodded.

The old man smiled: "The old man didn't think he was stupid in the past, but his mind was not enough in front of you. ”

"It's Miss Zhou and ...... The girl is too smart, and she can be described as a seven-trick exquisite heart. Dugu Mo corrected his salutation before continuing to praise.

Dugu Mo called it so because Princess Qing's current identity has been transformed into a maid, so naturally she has to change her words accordingly.

Princess Qing nodded, acknowledging the title.

The identity of Princess Qing on this mission is only afraid that it will not be hidden for long. The key is to grasp the temperament of King Qi. Princess Harushi and Prince Mo will not be taken hostage. If the King of Qi dies suddenly, maybe Princess Qing will consider escaping back to Wuguo overnight.

In the judgment of Princess Haruka. The prince of Qi is a little more pragmatic than his old son, and he doesn't care about his reputation for the sake of some national interests. Such an opponent is difficult to entangle, and the gentlemanly style of the old King Qi is the best to get along with. Maybe you'll have to grab yourself in exchange for the bargaining chips of the lord of Yoyo.

Wu Zhe smiled and explained further to Leopard Lao: "The emperor is really good, but he is also a little tighter about money. Let's go out, although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared a lot of supplies along the way, and there are edicts from the states and counties along the way. But when we arrived in Qi country, we didn't give us the money. ”

Dugu Mo asked, "Favor money? Could it be that you mean bribing the officials of Qi State with money? I didn't think about it that much." ”

"Childe. Your father is acting with a plan. Wu Zhe couldn't stop laughing: "Let you take the gifts sent by the officials of Wudu, and then transfer them to many places in Qi to open up joints." Maybe I can train an undercover agent or something in the future, at least it's good to be a personal favor. ”

Leopard Lao frowned and said: "The king of Qi has a strict legal system, and the military and political affairs of the Qi country are clear. Are they easy to get the money?"

"Even if King Qi is a holy gentleman, he can't stop the people below from being greedy for ink. Wu Zhe smiled: "The name of Prince Mo is also really good. With this ink word, in fact, many things are easy to explain. Everywhere on the land, it is dark. The white one is not an official, and the white official is not cost-effective. Half black and half white, no official is good or bad. ”

"Miss Zhou's words are always full of charm, and these two sentences are enough for me to ponder for a while. Dugu Mo gave a thumbs up.

Elder Leopard also heard this fresh and seemed to make sense, and nodded vigorously: "Then under the rule of King Qi, there will always be officials who are greedy for ink?"

Wu Zhe said: "It's not the general meeting, but most of the will." The only problem is that we can't give away money in our current status. ”

Princess Qing replied, "I have this idea too. Does the other party dare to accept it?"

The leopard clapped his hands: "Yes, after all, they are envoys of hostile countries, so they are not afraid of this money?"

"There will always be someone who collects. It's just that when you harvest it, you can be particular. Wu Zhe said: "What I'm looking at is the land of the money village of the officials in various parts of the Qi State. Let's not send the money directly to the official's house, but to the various businesses he runs......"

Princess Qing was surprised: "Zhiruo, it's still your brain, I didn't expect this move at all." What a trick!"

Dugu Mo suddenly realized: "That is to say, if the brother-in-law of a state official runs a hotel." Shall we go to this hotel and have a great meal?"

"Not exactly. How troublesome is this, how much do you have to eat?, and you're not afraid of eating us up?" Wu Zhe shook his hand.

"If Miss Zhou eats like this, I'm afraid that many people will complain about me. Dugu Mo shrugged his shoulders and said that he was wrong.

Wu Zhe ignored his quip, and waved his fist neatly and crisply: "Directly bring down the restaurant!"

The three of them said in unison: "Coil?!"

Wu Zhe stretched out his fingers and kept wrenching: "Sell it down at double or even triple the original price, and then exchange it at the original price of six or seven percent of the original price to another official relative with a slightly lower status." ”

The leopard old man shouted: "Then are they willing?"

"It's a good idea, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find the door. As long as our information is accurate. Don't make a mistake. Princess Qing smiled: "Who doesn't take advantage of this cheapness?"

Dugu Mo said: "Miss Zhou is really full of tricks, and she can come up with this method." ”

Wu Zhe said in his heart, how many people were good at asset transfer and bribery at the end of the last century.

In another world, China's 5,000-year-old civilization has given birth to various methods of giving and accepting bribes. This kind of is just a pediatric, if the whole is moved by Wu Zhe, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down.

"Now that is the case, I hastened to gather up all the goods I have gathered today. Dugu Mo thought about it, looked at the piled up gift list and smiled: "Haha." Those who were officials in the military capital must have been caught off guard, and the vast majority of people did not give things, but real money and gold. ”

Wu Zhe said: "This is also the reason why the emperor deliberately issued an edict suddenly. When they were caught off guard by the sudden edict, they could only send gold and silver reserves that had been kept at home for many years. After all, the eldest prince has fallen out of favor, and Prince Mo is proud, so how can he not come over immediately to express his attitude at such a critical moment? ”

Princess Qing frowned and said, "Could it be that the emperor also figured out this matter to find out the treasury resources of some officials?"

"Kill two birds with one stone. Wu Zhe pouted.

Dugu Mo pointed his hand at himself and laughed at himself: "I am the stone." ”

Princess Qing smiled: "The officials of the Qi State and the Wu Kingdom are birds. ”

"For the monarch. How do you not know the minister?" Wu Zhe thought of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty in another world, and sighed: "I don't know the minister." It must be a faint king. ”

"Miss Zhou must be right in every word, and she is a powerful person among people. Dugu Mo looked at Wu Zhe's posture, and inexplicably felt a sense of historical vicissitudes, and couldn't help but pat himself on the back: "Miss Zhou was born when the world was peaceful, and she can be the leader of the phoenix who governs the world." If you are born in a time of chaos in the world, you will be a demon in troubled times. ”

Wu Zhe rolled his eyes when he heard this. Are you Cao Cao as me? a capable minister who rules the world, a traitor in troubled times?

"Prince Mo said it so well, and he told Zhiruo's ability to the fullest. Princess Qing agreed: "If it is a troubled time, I am afraid that many princes will fight the world even more in order to snatch such a stunner." ”

Elder Leopard smiled beside him: "Maybe some people will say that those who win Zhou Zhiruo will win the world." ”

Dugu Mo laughed: "Now Miss Zhou is our person." Aren't we taking advantage of the world?"

Thinking of such a female think tank in hand, Dugu Mo is really in a happy mood. He didn't say that he could succeed in his hegemony, he was already very face-saving because he was afraid of Princess Qing's presence.

After a few jokes, Wu Zhe began to sort out the gift list for Dugumo.

The materials were left to be sold, and nearly the corresponding amount of existing funds were transferred to cooperate with the mission. Controlling the whole process is a university problem. (To be continued......)
