The place where Ma Hanshan and Shi Liyuan met was a very inconspicuous tavern in the east of the city, and no one could have imagined that the famous Shi Xiang of the Dasong Dynasty would meet with the famous business wizard Ma Hanshan, and choose such a tavern.

It was Su Ying who came with Mahan Mountain, of course, she came by carriage, but today she was not in the special carriage for Mahan Mountain.

The promotion of the four-wheeled carriage was so successful that passenger transport services are now available in Lin'an and nearby state capitals, and officials and wealthy people in Lin'an and nearby state capitals are proud to own a four-horse carriage produced by the Wagang Village. The popularity of the four-wheeled carriage, which has always been stigmatized, is mainly due to the excellent performance of this carriage, which not only solves the steering problem that people are worried about, but also makes people feel the comfort and speed that no vehicle has ever felt before.

The soft leather wheels, as well as the complex shockproof system, and the well-structured seat system, are all the most advanced designs of this era, because of these advanced systems, so that this four-wheeled carriage has played an effect that people have never even thought of, comfort is the first requirement of Mahanshan to manufacture a four-wheeled carriage, and now the comfort of this carriage can not be compared with the sedan of Mahanshan's previous life, but in this world, it has indeed achieved a dream-like effect. As for the power, it is simpler than the sedan in the previous life of Mahanshan, with one horse or two or four, you can do it, the Dasong Dynasty is not as boring as the Sui and Tang dynasties, the number of horses pulling the carriage is also related to the identity, in the Dasong Dynasty you like to use a few horses to pull the cart is your own business.

Shi Liyuan was the most powerful person in the Da Song Dynasty, of course he also bought a carriage, and the carriage he used was custom-made, of course, it was the most luxurious level, and it was also very special. However, today, like Mahanshan, he did not come in the car he had for his own purpose. It was Huo Xiu who accompanied Shi Liyuan, as Shi Liyuan's think tank, at this moment, he had to be there.

Ma Hanshan was deliberately a moment late, so he did this because he wanted to make a deep impression on the most powerful person in the Da Song Dynasty.

Although, Ma Hanshan had already met Shi Liyuan in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but to be honest, Shi Liyuan had forgotten him a long time ago, so Shi Liyuan didn't blame Ma Hanshan for being late.

When the big man met, all the details were very particular, Ma Hanshan told Shi Liyuan with a late arrival that for a period of time before, although the Da Song Dynasty was his master who had the final say, but in the future Da Song Dynasty, he wanted to live well, and he had to remember that there was also Ma Hanshan.

Ma Hanshan's intentions, Shi Liyuan didn't care about it, but Huo Xiu understood it, and he was a little unhappy, so after Shi Liyuan invited Ma Hanshan to sit down, he didn't pour tea for Ma Hanshan.

It is impossible for Shi Liyuan to put down his body and pour this cup of tea for Ma Hanshan, Ma Hanshan can't pour it himself, Su Ying can pour it, but at this time she doesn't take the initiative to pour it, no Xiao Er is here, the task of pouring tea is Huo Xiu's, but he deliberately didn't pour tea for Ma Hanshan, in order to pay tribute to Ma Hanshan's tardiness.

"Shi Xiang, I don't know what advice I have to say." Huo Xiu didn't pour the tea, Ma Hanshan didn't drink it, took out his pipe and lit it, and then said very indifferently.

Shi Li glanced at Ma Hanshan from afar, then turned to Huo Xiu and said, "Why don't you pour tea for the pony." ”

Huo Xiu pretended to have just woken up, oh answered, then poured tea for Ma Hanshan, and by the way, he also said an apologetic word to Ma Hanshan, Ma Hanshan smiled, didn't speak, looked at Shi Liyuan and waited for him to speak.

Originally, Huo Xiu wanted to earn some prestige for Shi Liyuan, but he didn't expect to earn embarrassment, this surnamed Ma is really difficult.

Shi Li saw that Ma Hanshan ignored Huo Xiu's small actions at all, so he had to say haha: "Haha, where can I advise, so I invited Mr. Ma to drink, mainly to express gratitude." ”

Ma Hanshan grinned and said, "Oh? What kind of gratitude do you express, since you are invited to drink, what about wine? ”

Hehe, Ma Hanshan is really the first cow in Dae, who dares to talk to Shi Liyuan like this.

"Ah, haha, the old man really forgot... Come... Serve the wine, and serve the best drunken immortal brewed ....... Shi Liyuan could only hide his embarrassment with a smile.

Xiao Er answered and came immediately, and then the curtain was lifted, and a pot of drunken immortal brew was sent in, Huo Xiu lifted the wine pot and wanted to pour the wine, but Ma Hanshan said slowly.

Ma Hanshan looked at Shi Liyuan, who was puzzled, and said: "Shi Xiang, I made this wine, and I have to drink it at any time, so you should invite me to tea." ”

Hehe, when there is no wine, he said that he wanted to drink, but when the wine came, he said that he wanted to drink tea, which is obviously a whole person. Shi Liyuan and Huo Xiu's faces were not good, but they were not easy to attack.

It's really hard to have a seizure, why are you here today? I'm here to beg for help.

Huo Xiu had to pour tea for Ma Hanshan, but when he poured the tea, Su Ying, who had not spoken, spoke.

Su Ying snorted and said, "This tea is really good, but it seems to be also produced by Wagang Village, forget it, let's drink white water." ”

Eh, I asked for wine, I served wine, and then I said I wanted tea, and when the tea was poured, I said I drank white water. What the fuck, what do you mean, playing with people? Huo Xiu looked at Ma Hanshan hatefully, and found that this kid was actually squinting and laughing, he hit a spirit, and said secretly, it's not good, I almost fell for them, the little bastard not only wants to overwhelm Xiangye psychologically, but also provokes Xiangye to be angry.

"Good, good, it's good to drink white water, I heard that drinking white water is the healthiest, those who cultivate in the deep mountains, drink white water, the best thing is morning dew, drinking too much can really become immortals." Huo Xiu said as he replaced everyone with white water.

Shi Liyuan was really almost angry just now, he finally suppressed his anger, exhaled secretly, took a sip of white water, put down the cup and said, "Well, don't say it, drinking white water really tastes different." ”

"Xiangye, what does it feel like?" Ma Hanshan asked Shi Liyuan while puffing out a cigarette.

Shi Liyuan was angry again, day, what's the taste, Lao Tzu just said casually and went down the steps, you bastard specifically asked, Cheng Xin wants Lao Tzu to be ugly.

"Mr. Pony, white water has Buddha nature, the mood is different, and the taste of drinking is different, so the taste of Xiangye may not be the same as that of Mr. Pony." Huo Xiu relieved Shi Liyuan.

Ma Hanshan smiled even more, looked at Huo Xiu and said, "So, what does Steward Huo taste like?" ”

"What I drank was sour, because I didn't feel good." Huo Xiu said.

"Haha, I guess, Xiangye drank it with a bitter taste, because Xiangye's heart was smoldering." Ma Hanshan laughed.

Shi Liyuan knew that no matter how he acted tonight, he would not be able to take the initiative on the scene, forget it, anyway, there is a request for someone tonight, so let this little bastard take advantage of it.

"Mr. Ma is really wise, and his true appearance is indeed bitter, but he does not drink bitterness because of stuffiness, but because he is sorrowful." Shi Liyuan said.

Ma Hanshan snorted his pipe, slowly spit out the cigarette and said: "Xiangye is above 10,000 people under one person in my Da Song Dynasty, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, the rich side is on the side, and the children and grandchildren are full, why worry." ”

Shi Liyuan was overjoyed, Ma Hanshan answered like this, indicating that he had started to talk about things, he sighed and said: "Alas, others look at the true appearance of one person and ten thousand people above the reverence, but Mr. Ma, have you forgotten the word "cold in high places?" ”

"Xiangye, it's just summer, it's getting hotter and hotter, where is the cold, haha." Of course, Ma Hanshan knew what Shi Liyuan was talking about, but he pretended to be stupid.

Day, why did they talk like this, Shi Liyuan was in his heart, but he didn't know how to say his thoughts for a while, could he just say it? It's a fucking shame.

Shi Liyuan picked up the cup and drank all the white water in the cup, put down the cup heavily, and said, "Mr. Ma, I have a question for my face." ”

He is out of the way, just say it, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable.

Without waiting for Ma Hanshan to answer, Huo Xiu took Shi Liyuan's words and said: "I know Xiangye's problem, I'll say it on behalf of Xiangye, does Xiangye want to ask, how can I not be cold in a high place." ”

Ma Hanshan was silent, he knew very well what Shi Li meant by asking him, but he was thinking about whether this old man was sincere or fake.

"Difficult." Ma Hanshan said.

"It's not that it's difficult, is it?" Huo Xiu said.

Ma Hanshan glanced at Shi Liyuan and said, "Xiangye is serious?" ”

"The emperor wants to rectify the rule of officials, does Mr. Pony think the emperor is serious?" It was still Huo Xiu who spoke.

"How can I understand the major affairs of the court and politics?" Ma Hanshan said lightly.

"Mr. Pony's science is all-encompassing, I heard that there is a discipline called political science, isn't this political science the study of political affairs?" Huo Xiu also has an understanding of the phylum Science.

Ma Hanshan filled another bucket of cigarettes, lit it and said, "Then I have to study the emperor's new political affairs." ”

"Mr. Pony thinks, how should Xiangye deal with it?" Huo Xiu was a little angry, damn, the little bastard, the master is like this, the bastard is still holding it.

Ma Hanshan suddenly laughed, he smoked a cigarette and said, "Whose official is Xiangye doing?" Whose official does he want to be? ”

"Of course, Xiangye is an official of the emperor, and Xiangye doesn't want to be anyone's official." Ma Hanshan's question was simple, but Huo Xiu's answer was a bit like Xuan.

"When you are an official of the emperor, can't you just follow the emperor?" Mahanshan said again.

"It's as simple as that?" Huo Xiu said.

"Does it have to be complicated?" Ma Hanshan said.

"How do I go this way?" Huo Xiu continued to ask.

Ma Hanshan didn't answer immediately, he was smoking silently, he had to think about it, there are many people in the Shi Party, and there are Shi Party people in various institutions inside and outside the court, it is impossible to take them all out, in that case, the entire Da Song will fall into chaos. It's really not so easy to determine which ones should be taken out and which ones should be co-opted.

"The road is easy to find, but there will definitely be a lot of obstruction on the road, and those who obstruct may be able to take it with them, or maybe it doesn't work, and it's best to clean it up, but maybe, you can't clean it all up. I would like to give you advice, grasp the big and let go of the small, and keep the mediocre energy. Ma Hanshan didn't want to be specific, because he didn't want to admit that he had anything to do with Long Guangning, but Shi Liyuan said tonight that he wanted to change his course, and he had to acquiesce in his relationship with Long Guangning.
